How to ride a jet ski?

Question

I was jet skiing with my friend a couple weeks ago and we were going very fast i was in the far back seat and we went off a giant wave in lake michigan and when we landed i heard like a crack inym back and my back was hurting but its fine now. I just didnt know what to do and now hes inviting me again so can someone tell me how i can like absorb the jumps with my legs instead of my back? or give me any tips or anything? Thanks

Answer 1

Try not to keep your back so stiff.. when you hit air, stand up a little bit, just enough to where your butt is off the seat. That way, when you land you can let your body bounce as opposed to letting the jetski bounce your back! Good luck next time!

Answer 2

Have you ever ridden a horse? Its kind of the same go with the flow, and yes let your legs act as shock absorbers, its also the same as down hill snow skiing if you have done that before, dont sit stiff and ridged loosing up and enjoy yourself, just remeber to hang on !!!!

Be safe and have fun!!! :)
