Don't be a dick is my main advice. Not trying to assume anything about you but having done both Jet skiing and Kayaking, I can assure you that jet skiers are the most hated folks on the water. Obey rules to keep you and others safe, dont be the guy going like 40 knots under a bridge effectively pinning my kayak against pillars and endangering me with anyone else who may come behind him doing the same. I've also been fishing on that same bridge and was where i was supposed to be and had a jet skiier snag into the line and they flew off and even tried to yell at me over it. Until I pointed out that they were flying through, the wrong side, "Look at this rail, it's shorter than the one in the middle for a reason dude!" He then proceeds to have insult after insult hurled at him by the other angry fisherman. I actually got them to chill cause I said "He's just mad that not only is he wrong, but he got merked for it, let him cry today so he can toughen up a bit from this guys". We shared a laugh, made sure he gets back on and isn't hurt and go on with our days. Like I said, you're probably not that person, I hope so anyway lol. All I'm advising is general respect for rules and safety(knowing them is key) so that everyone can be having their own fun.
Good tips on the kill switch. Happen to me once. Wasn't hooked good to the vest . Luckily a neighbor was on his boat .And he picked me up. Then took me to my ski.
After 10 years of riding jet skis, I would highlight these three rules as the most important ones: Rule no 1 ALWAYS wear a life jacket when getting on the jet ski. Rule no 1 ALWAYS have a key attached to your jacket before you start the engine. Rule no 3 EVERY TIME before making a sharp turn ALWAYS look around especially behind you (cause someone might be there). ...
Also when you beach your ski before taking off again shake the rear end up and down to make sure any debris falls out the intake The waves can cause sand and rocks to go in it. Especially if you drag it on shore. Also, beware of snakes. When I beached my ski and went to take off it was cavitating not going anywhere When I reached under into the intake I pulled out a huge water moccasin snake that attacked me and I was able to fling it away. From then on I would flip my jetski on the side to look inside if it ever cavitates again. lol.
My son and I fell off our jetski while headed upstream on the Missouri river. I had my kill switch tethered to me but the jet ski still went a good 25 yards or more before it stopped. This was a pretty windy day so even though my Killswitch worked my son and I couldn't get back to the jet ski no matter how hard we swam because the wind was pushing the jet ski upstream while the current was taking us down stream and the jet ski just kept getting farther away. We had to flag down a boat to take us back to the ski!
Be aware that kiteboarders can only go crosswind or downwind. Kite lines are generally 25 meters, and a jet ski within 100 meters (cross or downwind) is a potential collision. If you find a kiteboard out there, it will often have a name and contact info somewhere on it. Or if you see the person floating pretty far downwind (more than 50 meters downwind of their board), they'd be happy to get the board back. But only approach from upwind; don't get downwind or crosswind of them due to lines or risk of wind catching the kite. Also once the board is near them, probably best to move more upwind unless they are in a panic and asking for other assistance.
I have been jet skiing for years. I always tell newbies the story about steering with no power. Do NOT EVER “pretend” to head at anything and turn at the last second because you will instinctively take power off, attempt to turn and you will hit that thing. Next, always LOOK, THEN turn. Last, I used to have the kill switch on my wrist, but accident pointed to something and killed the engine. Now it is always attached to my vest.
Do not wrap the key around your wrist. I had mine like that, was enough to pull it from the ski and cut the engine but it also slipped off my wrist in the water and could not be found again.
Amazing Video! Thank you for the heads up! Im getting my first Seadoo for open Water, mostly south pacific, I love to do tow outs into waves and cruise and jump a bit! What Seadoo should I get? Kind regards and thanks in advance!
Hi! Can I ask a quick one? Mine has water in the cone. Apparently it was not cleaned and had water in it when they put grease. Is it too bad? It sounds like a whistle
I believe they go quite often, but unfortunately we don't have to much experience with Sparks as we have never owned one. Probably best to hit up your local Sea Doo dealership
Hey mate! We recently came out with our fish box. Check them out through this link jettech.com/collections/fishing-accessories/products/jet-ski-fishing-cooler-box.
I’m going to search your videos, but i have not found very many videos on mounting the jet ski in the water near shore, in deep water and at the dock. We just bought 2 skis but we are both in our 60’s!! Could be a challenge! Do youhave videos for ole folkies? Lol.
I dont get it with the kill switch. The rescue runner used here around we set the clip to the handlebars, so it dont cut the engine if rider is of the jet. Reson for this is when engine running but no stearing input it starts to circle. If engine dies and wind carries the jetski away you are not going to catch it swimming...
Each to their own on how they like to set up their skis, however we find it much more safer to clip the safety lanyard to the rider as per manufacture's safety guide too.
Older skis were set up to circle if you fall off. The newer ones will just keep moving straight ahead. If you fall off at speed, by the time you get your bearings the ski is hard to catch with the engine running. I've fallen off a ski at speed wearing a lanyard, when I caught my breath the ski was only a few feet away with the engine off.
Do not beach the ski! It will slowly degrade the bottom. anchor it off shore and just walk out to it. Also dont suck up your anchor rope itll be a bad day
don't wrap a hat around the bars. I had one on the left bar that popped it in neutral doing 70 maybe engaging ibr too, not sure. But it caught me completely off guard doing a 100 meter handstand before getting back on the seat.
Tip #3 is real important when you reach shore and don’t turn off your engine, the impact of the jet ski landing in the sand will be very hard. It could even dislocate your shoulder as your body will bang against the jet ski handles
Lol you do realize one way valves only work with enough pressure to force them closed. Water will easily get past the valve at low pressure aka sitting in the water.
@Kenshin Himura it wont, its a ball valve. I checked already actually and tested. But you are partically right, at a VERY low flow it may very slowly enter, which doesnt contribute to anything as it gets evacuated by passive bilge system right away in that amount. And I would never leave it open sitting in the water. My application is I ride it in the ocean, load it on a trailer, come home and leave it on a trailer. In a dock situation you definitely need to plug that hole, it makes sense
Yes Susan. People need to be educated that Jet Ski is a trademark to Kawasaki and only Kawasaki can use that term. PWC or Personal Water Craft is for ALL the other ones.
So last time I took my waverunner out I ran it til it was low fuel, ( like I always do), and on my way back in I was turning and going under a bridge so I let off the throttle to slow down and turn to avoid a pillar, and my steering completely went out, I throttled for a second to help the turn and nothing, I hit the pillar at about 10mph. I know slowing down slows the turn but even at idle my ski turns just fine so I'm wondering if the low fuel cut the engine for a sec. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Ofcourse after I hit the pillar everything worked just fine and I went straight to ramp and loaded it up.
@lukegorski1882 yea it was super weird, it took on a little water last time I took it out, unfortunately I think there's a very small opening in between wher the 2 shells bolt together, I'm hoping I can either seal it myself or that it won't be too expensive to fix but I imagine it will be

Hahaha well i guess it all depends who's buying one, if its the un educated guy buying the 300HP ski with no on water experience, then too right. If its guys using for tow in surfing or fishing and needs something to fit in the garage, cost under 20k and can tow with a Subaru wagon, well there ain't many better choices.
I'm getting my first ski this Saturday, your videos are very helpful. Thank you!

Good tips and tricks. One more, LOOK FIRST, THEN turn. Too many people just turn into the path of another boat. Seen it way too many times.
So glad I watched this haha, I'm going jet skiing in Thailand! Cheers

they float
maybe ur just brain dead. Most float also u should just make it tighter
Sounds like a nightmare
Why didn't it float??
Always carry a spare or three…!!!
Tip #6:
Launch your jet ski in water. If kept on trailer, it won’t be of much use. Don’t launch ski on a solid surface.
That's a great tip Avery!
Number 6 make sure you can reverse a trailer off the ramp into the water lol.
That always helps!
THAT'S THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING NOW, I NEED MORE PRACTICES TO BACK UP MY JETSKI TRAILER
Awesome stuff! What’s the fishing cooler setup?
Haha.. excellent tips mate … keep up the good work.
Thanks Dan

Hey mate, it is one of our Jet Tech life jackets. You can shop them here: jettech.com/products/jet-tech-flex-lite-jackets?_pos=1&_sid=8ea19d834&_ss=r
Do not beach the ski! It will slowly degrade the bottom. anchor it off shore and just walk out to it. Also dont suck up your anchor rope itll be a bad day
My waverunner cuts off automatically if I fall off my waverunner
Highly doubt that cuz my fx svho didn’t do that, fx cruiser svho, nor did my gp1800 r svho do that. If that’s the case they wouldn’t have the tether

You forgot to mention to keep ropes tucked away when the jet ski is on! A lose rope will get sucked stuck around the shaft

how to brake if u can tho?
U cant brake u just let of the gas and it will stop really fast
