Water activities are very popular because of their appeal, their entertaining side and their risky aspect. We offer these activities on our site in Fréjus and St Raphaël. Jet skis are watercraft powered by jet engines, offering a unique travel experience. However, driving a jet ski requires great caution, as it can be dangerous and cause significant damage. Here are some tips for riding a jet ski safely.
The first step to driving a jet ski is to follow mandatory training in order to obtain a license, essential for any jet ski driving in Fréjus. This training will teach you how to pilot a jet ski, know the rules to follow as well as the necessary safety equipment. Initially, the license will allow you to operate the jet ski on water, but with time and distance limitations. These restrictions are crucial, as you will still be a novice and learning.
For your safety, it is essential to wear the correct equipment such as a wetsuit, life jacket and helmet. When you go to sea, it is essential to remember the rules you have learned and apply them rigorously. Driving a jet ski also requires caution and attention, as a simple mistake can lead to a collision. It is important to maintain a moderate speed, avoiding excesses that could cause you to lose control of the jet ski and end up in the water.
This activity is quite physically demanding. It is preferable to be in good physical condition to practice jet skiing, because all the muscles of the body are used, in particular the forearms, shoulders and thighs. If you suffer from back problems, it is not recommended to practice this activity.
Wearing individual flotation equipment, such as a life jacket, or an isothermal suit equipped with a light indicator is mandatory. The suit will protect you from the cold and possible injuries caused by the turbine or by a possible impact on the surface of the water.
When you have a passenger with you, make sure they have sufficient physical strength to stand on the machine. We recommend that you never take a child under 8 years old on board. Don't forget to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from the bright sun during this nautical adventure!
