Riding a jet ski as a passenger can be a thrilling experience if done safely and with proper guidance.

Here’s how you can ride a jet ski as a passenger…

• Wear Safety Gear – Before boarding the jet ski, the driver (operator) and passenger should wear a properly fitting personal flotation device (PFD) or life jacket. This ensures safety in case of unexpected falls or accidents.
• Boarding the Jet Ski – Approach the jet ski from the rear and step onto the footrests or designated boarding area, if available. Hold onto stable parts of the jet ski for balance while boarding.
• Positioning – Sit close to the driver behind them on the seat. Hold onto the handholds or grips provided on the sides or rear of the jet ski. Keep your feet firmly planted on the footrests or designated foot areas.
• Balance and Body Position – Maintain a balanced posture and keep your body slightly forward. This helps maintain stability and control, especially during turns or rides over waves.
• Communication – Communication between the driver and passenger is crucial. Agree on hand signals or signals beforehand to indicate when you’re ready to start, stop, or slow down.
• Follow Instructions – Listen to any instructions given by the driver. They will guide you on how to hold on and what to expect during the ride.
• Enjoy Responsibly – Enjoy the ride while being aware of your surroundings and following safety guidelines. Avoid sudden movements or shifting weight abruptly, as this can affect the stability of the jet ski.
• Exiting the Jet Ski – When the ride is over, wait until the jet ski comes to a complete stop before stepping off. Use stable parts of the jet ski for support as you disembark.
• Safety Reminders – Take safety precautions, such as not dangling limbs over the sides or standing up while the jet ski is in motion.

By following these steps and communicating with the driver, you can enjoy a safe and enjoyable experience riding a jet ski as a passenger. Always prioritize safety and adhere to any local regulations or guidelines regarding jet ski operation.
