Jet skiing


It's like I'm driving a motorcycle except on the water. The lake is so smooth that the jet ski simply glides across the surface. My sister's hands that are wrapped around me tighten as we bounce over the waves. Building up speed, we cry out in glee as the wind whips at our face. I feel so alive and free.

If you like to go out on the lake a lot, then jet skiing is your activity. Jet skis are fairly easy to operate. I was driving one by myself at 12 years old with no problem. Jet skis also come in very handy when you don't want to pack a speed boat all up with equipment, and instead just a few people want to go out on the lake and have some fun.

Some fun things to do when riding jet skis is to follow behind a speed boat that makes huge waves and ride their wake behind them. Some of the waves will be so high that the jet ski will come out of the water 2-5 feet. Also, it's fun to drive around in circles for awhile, building up the waves. Once they are high enough, ride through the middle of them were the crests are the highest. If it is tall enough, sometimes the front of the jet ski will become completely submerged underwater, spraying you with a mist of water. Jet skiing is a real exciting adventure and is fun for everyone.

I give jet skiing a rank of 7.
