A short ABC of jet skiing

Even though jet skiing seems like a fun and adventurous nautical sport, there are some essential facts that must be taken into consideration before diving in. Safety must be a priority, so make sure that your equipment is full and adequate.  A full equipment should be composed of the following elements:

• wetsuit / bathing suit / anything comfortable
• life jacket
• safety lanyard
• whistle
• helmet (it is not mandatory, but it is recommended)
• jet ski license (only some states require a license)

Always check if the state where you intend to travel, requires a jet ski license. If it does, then obtaining it is very easy and free. You just fill in a form with your data, take an online course and in the end, you will receive the certificate through the provided email. After receiving it, you’re good to go!

There are more types of PWC’s. The main ones are the „stand up” and „sit down” jet skiis. The stand up one fits only one person, while the sit down one fits up to 4 people. This way, you can enjoy this fun activity with your family and friends.
