How to Drive a Jet Ski – For Beginners To ensure a smooth and safe ride, here’s a step-by-step guide tailored for first-time riders: - Know Your Boat-Ed: In California, it’s mandatory to pass a boating safety course before operating personal watercraft, including jet skis. This is your first step towards a safe ride. - Finding Your Comfort: Once on the jet ski, find a comfortable sitting position. - Hand and Feet Placement: Place your hands firmly on the handlebars and your feet in the footrests. This stance provides stability and control. - Safety first – the switch cord: Before starting, make sure that the cord (or similar device) is attached to the life jacket and connected to the ignition key. This cord is crucial for safety – if you fall, it will immediately shut down the engine. - Igniting the Engine: Turn on the jet ski ignition switch to start your watercraft. - Gentle Throttle: Gradually push the throttle, starting at a slow pace (about 5 – 10 mph) offshore. Get accustomed to the throttle’s sensitivity before speeding up. - Navigating Away from Shore: Once comfortable, steer to a safe distance from the shore, away from obstacles and heavy boat traffic. Increase your speed gradually, but stay within your comfort zone. - Steady and Slow: Maintain a consistent, moderate speed, leaning into turns. - Understanding Turning Dynamics: Remember, jet skis require acceleration to turn effectively. Keep your load balanced and centered to avoid capsizing. - Resist Standing Up: Initially, avoid standing on the jet ski. Wait until you’re more experienced to reduce the risk of losing control or falling. Alongside the basic steps, here are some additional tips to enhance your jet ski experience: - Stay Alert: Always be aware of your surroundings, including other watercraft and natural obstacles. - Understand the Weather: Check weather conditions before heading out. Avoid jet skiing in rough waters, especially as a beginner. - Life Jackets are a Must: Wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket at all times for safety. - Follow the Rules: Adhere to all boating laws and regulations, including speed limits and no-go areas. - Communication Tools: Carry a whistle or a horn for emergencies, and always let someone know your plans and expected return time. - Stay Hydrated: Bring water, especially on hot days, to avoid dehydration. Splash Down: How to Re-Board Your Jet Ski Sometimes, no matter what you do, you fall off your jet ski. A splash down is typically no big deal and can even be a part of the thrill. Unfortunately, attempting to reboard from the side will cause the water vehicle to flip. Luckily, there is a tried-and-true method to getting back on we’ll look at next. Technique for Safe Reboarding You always reboard a ski from the stern (back). Simply reach up to the handle behind the seat and pull yourself out of the water onto the back deck of the ski. This approach helps maintain the PWC’s balance and prevents flipping. If you ride with another, only one person should board at a time. Understanding PWC Safety Hazards Awareness of potential safety hazards on a PWC, such as those posed to your hands, feet, and hair, is crucial for preventing accidents and injuries. Handling the Intake Grate and Impeller When operating a PWC, the intake grate and impeller at the back are particularly hazardous. These components draw in water for propulsion but can pose a risk of entanglement or injury if you come too close while the engine is running. Always keep a safe distance from these parts during operation.
