We may not have the best climate, yet our varying landscapes enable us to enjoy plenty of adventure sports. In summertime, water sports are particularly enjoyable than usual and if you are looking for an adrenaline rush we propose enjoying a jet ski activity.
Jet ski basics
Jet skis have been around since the 1970s and made famous by various Hollywood action movies such as Waterworld. It is a personal motorised watercraft that can be driven standing up or sitting down. There are up to four-seat models available!
The average top speed of a jet ski is between 65 - 85 mph. As you can imagine, their speed has a lot of appeal for water daredevils. The International Jet Sports Boating Association (IJSBA) holds annual world finals in which jet skiing enthusiasts demonstrate their freestyle skills to score points.
What are jet skis capable of?
Jet skis are not only fast but capable of jumping among other more elaborate moves such as the Barrel Roll, Nose Stab and Fountain. The agility of the driver is very important as you can see stuntmen like Jack Moule, the British National Freestyling Champion. We don't expect you to pull off many tricks, but you can get a real thrill!!
Jet skiing is an exhilarating sport and very accessible as no previous experience is necessary to participate. If you are looking for an alternative day out we invite you to browse our jet ski listings. You can find some really imaginative days out - like this!
