On many occasions we find many users who ask us about the operation of the jet ski, due to their insecurity in this type of water vehicle. That is why our jet ski rental company is going to explain how jet skis work and how to ride them safely and comfortably.

Most people who are encouraged to ride a jet ski for the first time, repeat the experience, and the feeling you feel when you get on it is inexplicable. Riding a jet ski is a unique adventure, full of adrenaline, fun and excitement by the sea. If you have not yet gotten on one, neither driving the motorcycle nor as a passenger, this summer you have to live the experience yes or yes.

There are many people who would like to ride a jet ski, but they do not take the step because they do not know how it works, and they do not know that this is not a problem, since, before the adventure begins, the monitors will give a short talk talking about how jet skis work.

Mechanism of jet skis

First of all, it will be to turn on the jet ski, a quick and easy step. To do this, we find an on and off button, which we will press to start the motorcycle, a system very similar to the most recent cars that contain this type of smart ignition button.

To ride the jet ski we will only have to turn the fist down the right side of the handlebar, just as it would happen with a bicycle or motorcycle. The degree of abruptness that we make on it will regulate the speed by increasing and decreasing it.

This type of nautical vessel works with an internal turbine, what it does is that when the speed of our motorcycle increases, the vehicle will suck in the sea water and release it, propelling the vehicle forward with the power generated by the water jet. The power of it will depend on the rented jet ski, which can be around between 50 hp in more standard motorcycles and 300 hp in more efficient motorcycles.

In addition, each jet ski has a system that when turning it to the right or left, the mechanism of the jet ski activates the jet at a percentage angle that the handlebar does, thus taking us in this direction. The higher the speed, the better it will be to orient our vehicle towards that place.Montar en moto de agua

How to stop a jet ski

Now we know how to start the jet ski, and how to give it more or less speed, but how do we brake?

Jet skis do not have brakes, yes, it seems crazy, but it has its explanation. To brake in the water it will be enough to release the accelerator little by little. It is very important not to stop the jet ski suddenly, since it could cause a breakdown to the motorcycle, or what is worse, damage to the people who are on it.

Imagine that you are driving the jet ski and you feel like jumping into the water. Be careful! Don’t let go of the throttle abruptly, slow down to a complete stop and turn off the bike to go into the water.

We recommend that you adapt your position to the waves, as it will allow you to drive more pleasantly.

We already know how the sea is, there are days that we find it very unruly, with quite a lot of waves, and other times very calm, for some, too boring. If the sea is calm, you can sit down, but if there are waves, you will need to stand up to get more stability and navigate those waves.
