What is a jet-ski?
There are lots of different names for a personal water craft, including Jet Ski and water scooter.
They all mean the same thing, though! Jet Ski is a registered trademark of Kawasaki, and is a commonly used term around the globe.
Features of a Jet Ski
Historically, the 'water scooter' was imagined by Clayton Jacobson II, an American lawyer who wanted to water ski without being pulled along by a boat. This is where the idea of having personal water craft came from. Jet Skis have continued to evolve and even a sport emerged in the 1980s.
Today, what's commonly known as a Jet Ski is a motorised water vehicle that can be used for racing or recreational activity.
There are two types of Jet Ski:
- the stand-up Jet Ski, where the user stands to steer the craft;
- and the seated Jet Ski, which is equipped with a seat for the driver and one or more passengers. These Jet Skis are generally larger and more powerful than stand-up ones.
