About waterskiing and jetskiing in France

Waterskiing is a sport that resembles skiing on snow. You are being towed by a motorboat, while you are holding onto a rope, going at an average speed of 45 km / h. This sport was invented in 1922 by Ralph Samuelson and in time in has become a competition sport too.

Jet Skiing was invented in 1972 and the first succesful model was the Stand Up Kawasaki Jet Ski. This sport has become an extreme one, being full of adrenaline and fun for children and adults both. The minimum age of riding a jet ski is 12 years old, but some manufacturers make their jet skiis only for 16 or older.

If you want to practice such an extreme sport like waterskiing or jet skiing, make sure that it is safe for you and your health. Also, make sure to use lots of sunscreen lotion, have a comfortable wetsuit and a lot of courage!
