4 Major Tricks You Should Try Out While Jetskiing In The Summer

From June to August, the climate in Dubai is perfect for jetskiing. There is plenty of sunlight, sparkling blue oceans, and calm waves; a rider’s paradise. Although, while the weather is perfect for gliding across the sea and soaking in the gorgeous day, if you enjoy a thrill, then there are plenty of tricks you can successfully execute. Therefore, to make sure you can enjoy an adrenaline high and make unforgettable memories this summer, we will explore a few of them.

Wave jumping

It is a fun stunt that can be done relatively quickly by beginners. If it is your first time trying this, we recommend starting with small waves below 3ft. Anything beyond 4ft can be extremely challenging and possibly dangerous for a novice. To do the stunt, you need to approach the wave on idle power, and when you are near it, add throttle. Then lean back on the jetski with bent elbows and knees so you can become airborne. While you are in the air, hold onto the power to maintain the jump. When you are coming back down, brace your body and keep your head away from the handle to avoid injury. 

Hairpin turns

These are also a basic trick that is relatively easy for new riders to pick up. The maneuver aims to make tight turns in the form of a hairpin. To do this, you need to have plenty of body control to steer the jetski at high speeds. To ensure you can do so, you need to practice accelerating on a straight line and making a wide turn when you reach a high speed. When you can successfully do this, make the turn tighter by turning the handlebar completely. If executed correctly, the jetski will whip around while dipping into the turn. There may even be a slight skid. 

Donuts

There is nothing as exciting as spinning around at high speed, which is why donuts are trendy. They are a great way to get the adrenaline pumping, and if done correctly, you can do it safely in a jetski without any issue. To do a donut, you need to drive the jetski, then completely let go of the throttle before turning the handlebars in your preferred direction. Then you should lean in that direction and increase power to spin and execute the maneuver flawlessly. 

Wheelies

This trick can be a fantastic sight to see. It is perfect for sit-down jetskis and involves raising the nose of the jetski in almost a perpendicular stance. To perform a wheelie, you need to shift weight to the back of the vehicle, which you can do by holding onto the handle and moving back as far as possible. Then lean back while accelerating to raise the nose. You will produce more lift by increasing the weight; therefore, if you are riding a sit-down model, have a second rider seated to the back of the craft. 

Performing tricks are a fun and exciting part of the jetskiing experience; therefore, make sure to try at least one of the above. However, if you are a novice, then make sure someone can oversee what you do. If you are on our jetski tour, then you can always ask the instructor for assistance. Do remember that safety matters, so always wear your lifejacket and carry the necessary equipment. For more information, do contact Xtreme Jetski, and our staff will assist you.
