Tips For Riding A Jet Ski
If you’re new to the sport, then you should start out with these 10 helpful tips before riding a jet ski rental. Here are the basic jet ski riding tips you need to know.
- You have to know your boat-ed. In some states, you have to pass a boating safety course first before you can drive a jet ski and other personal watercraft.
- Climb on the jet ski and find the most comfortable sitting position.
- Put your hands on the bars and place your feet in the footrest.
- Before you turn on your water bike, you should have a lanyard around your wrist where the key in the ignition is attached. This is a setup is referred to as the kills witch cord. In short, if you fall off the jet ski, then it’ll be switched off because you’ve got the key with you.
- Switch on the ignition switch of the jet ski rental.
- Push the throttle in slowly. You can cruise around at around 10 mph offshore until you become comfortable to the throttle’s sensitivity.
- Once you’ve cruised to a spot that’s on a safer spot from the shore, past the heavy boat traffic and past obstacles, you can increase your speed. But you should always remain at a comfortable speed.
- Keep this steady and slow speed. Don’t forget to lean your water bike toward the direction where you can to turn.
- Don’t forget that jet skis require acceleration to turn in most cases. Keep the load centered and balanced so you can avoid capsizing.
- A lot of newbie jet ski riders want to stand up while riding a jet ski, but don’t be tempted to do this unless you’re already an intermediate or expert jet ski rider.
