I rode one for the first time with my 15 year old daughter (pillion) yesterday in Northern Spain. We had a basic Intro, and went out of the harbour! At first it was fun, then after half an hour I had had enough! The Instructor disappeared in front of us and we were banging and crashing though waves. The spray was in my eyes and I found it difficult to see. I thought the craft was stable enough, and it seemed to keep in a staight line, and was very powerful. Eventually the Instructor turned around and asked if we were ok. I said I wanted to go back! He was ok with that! Everything happended so fast, I suppose having had no prior experience, I found it all a bit to manic for me. Even my daughter said I'd made the right decision. Will I do it again! Yes!...but in a calmer environment that will allow me to take in the coastline sights and enjoy the experience, not just hanging on for grim death. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. xx
Great tips, if you’re approaching a yacht and don’t want to hit it what’s the best, safe way to slowdown fast or stop completely and move forward slowly as you said earlier? Thank you kindly and great info, cheers
It wasn’t my first time but I’ve done it probaly like 5 times and I didn’t put throttle when turning and we fell off because there were 2 people and both leaning onto the same side
I rode on a jetski before and I was shitting bricks when the driver did sharp turns because i thought I would either fall off or the whole jetski would flip over
here's a begginer tip from my hard-earned experience don't be flying down the lake full throtle and let off and turn into you wake you'll end up turning your ski over
Awesome vid bro! Just bought my first ski today! Thanks for the vid eh! From Nova Scotia Canada. Pretty much surrounded by the Atlantic ocean and 100's of lakes! 🤟
@@JetTechProducts That's awesome and Thank you for the response. So for you is it mostly salt water rides vs fresh water. I'm very privy to both, the Atlantic Ocean and many lakes. I know fresh water is less maintenence for the PWC,.and I have watched many vids on salt water use and flushing the machine afterwards and my Seadoo GTI 170 does have the flush system too. What's your take and maintenance on running in the salty sea?
@@BM-hh3gz its fine to use your skis in salt water, just have to make sure to clean them well, and to use a product like Salt Shift when cleaning as it dissolves all the salt.
My ski throttle posistion is the front brake on my bikes and the skii's left control for ibr and reverse is the clutch on the bikes! What could go wrong? In a panic my instinct is to pull the front brake which is the skiis throttle and came close to decapatating myself on my dock when i first got it.
Genuine question: How dangerous is it like crashing in the water like being slung off?? Idk of this is a dumb question to ask, but hey, why not Edit: I plan on buying this jetski from this one guy that why I was asking
It can hurt but pretty much same concept as riding a tube behind a boat. Most the time you skim across the water, but serious injuries can still incur.
yeah..don't ride one without reverse..lol. really though..you will have to be very careful with the throttle when getting into the dock area, otherwise..you will hit something !..lol.
yes...when it flips over..its posb it can become upside down. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHICH WAY TO FLIP IT BACK OVER ?!!..if you flip it back over the wrong way ?, you will ruin the engine !.
Awesome tutorial for beginners! I would suggest to beginners that you should go ONLY as fast as you might hit something! They're not toys! It takes hours of riding them to be at a level where you don't panic and lose steerage by letting off the throttle or gunning it full throttle during an "oh shit" moment.
I would have loved to learn something about the sport, but I wanted it in English, not this slang I hear,,, I didn't understand a thing this guy said! lol!
Picked up my first ski about 6 weeks ago and been watching a ton of your videos. Very informative and the scenery is cool too. Cheers from the states!
Thanks appreciate the feedback

Upgraded to a fzs and felt like I had to learn becuase of all the powers
I like jet ski very much.
Excellent video are you in Australia?
We’re doing a jet ski ride from Long Beach California to Catalina Island I appreciate the refresher course
I drove one and it is a three person one and I went 69mph and it was the best thing I’ve done
I rode on a jetski before and I was shitting bricks when the driver did sharp turns because i thought I would either fall off or the whole jetski would flip over
here's a begginer tip from my hard-earned experience don't be flying down the lake full throtle and let off and turn into you wake you'll end up turning your ski over
Haha ouch, that doesn’t sound like a fun time.
done it many times, not once have i fell off...you must be on a sea-do ?..lol.
Can you do a video for beginners on how to park your jetski to a dock. If you don't already have one that is.
Great suggestion, leave it with us and we will do one in the next month or so.
what is the gasoline consumption of a sea doo 300 vs 170?
Awesome vid bro! Just bought my first ski today! Thanks for the vid eh! From Nova Scotia Canada. Pretty much surrounded by the Atlantic ocean and 100's of lakes! 🤟
Thats awesome, we have actually sent a few orders to Nova Scotia before, some good surf up there.

Do you have a video on riding in choppy water what are some of the main techniques?
Thx mate
Hey, we actually have a bunch of footage from a 550km ride we did earlier this year. Will see if i get some time to edit something up for you.
I'm going on a Jet ski for the first time tomorrow
@mxkaiix
We didn't go
It was a rip-off
@mxkaiix yes they are, only takes about 15 mins to kind of get used to it

Cool videos are working on my new phone now. I just randomly looked this up as a generic video to check if videos on my phone are working.
How do you write it when there’s a wake do you go right into the week or do you ride next to the wake?
Hey newbie here, what is the function of the black dots you are talking about at 1:16?
those '' black dots '' are the drain plugs, if you leave them out ?, you will sink...lol.
My concern is how to climb back up on the jet ski. I don't really know how to get back up
Ummm the boarding step on the stern
most ski's have a rear step that folds down on the stern ( back end ).
Genuine question: How dangerous is it like crashing in the water like being slung off?? Idk of this is a dumb question to ask, but hey, why not
Edit: I plan on buying this jetski from this one guy that why I was asking

Great video. What brand and type of life vest is that?
Hey this is is our brand life vest Jet Tech. Best for performance and comfort whilst on the water.
Thank you very much
Any tips on riding a jet ski with no reverse? newbie here.
yeah..don't ride one without reverse..lol. really though..you will have to be very careful with the throttle when getting into the dock area, otherwise..you will hit something !..lol.
When can I go full 71 mph?
"Good Job"
Nice video
Are there any cases of getting the jet ski upside down ???
yes...when it flips over..its posb it can become upside down. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHICH WAY TO FLIP IT BACK OVER ?!!..if you flip it back over the wrong way ?, you will ruin the engine !.
I am going to jet ski in cancun
Don't bring your ski on the beach.....you are getting sand and rocks into your pump and scratching the hull

How do you ride a jet ski
Where are you now
Idiot question but, do they have no brakes?
Mine does
not the kinda brakes you have on cars/trucks. they will stop..just not like a car/truck.
I THINK this guy is Australian
As another person mentioned ....
You dont "drive" any personal watercraft ..... Operate
Kinda like riding a bike.
Please do not panic.
isn't it like a motor bike you ride it not drive it lol
I don’t need a jet ski license
