today I read of a 14yo with a jet ski
he is wanting to do tow-ins
this is in Australia
raises a question I think
[besides the “where did he get the $20,000 or so for the jet ski ??”]
more importantly …
IS there a “legal age” / any sort of “driving test” for these things ??
… I foresee death/s , otherwise …
cheers
ben
haha… shhh its a secret Ben…
Legal age in WA is 15 to operate any watercraft…
Unless his Dad is in the Water Police…
- haha... shhh its a secret Ben...
except when it hits the fan , as it may well do in this case . So, is there also a minimum rider weight for one of these jet skis too , in order for it to stay in the water ?

I only wish,zoom in on the welling tear,
that I had the oppertunity to do something I loved for a living.
Jet skiiing for 5 year-olds
on propperly built equiptment
would make an excellent addition
to the lifesaving efforts world wide and
we here at Kowasaki
plan to be the Vanguard company in the
promotion and development of this new market.
these thirty 2000 cc skis are being donated to
the red maltese chross swimming program
free of charge to Los Angeles life guards
and simultaneously to twenty major metropolitan
lifesaving organisations world wide
to give somthing back to all the people who have made this world a better place through petrochemical spewmocology.
thank you and now to Skip Oilslick

bodies in the line up?
you must be proud.
for PWCs in Florida it’s 12 if privately owned, 16 if rented.
Hey Ben , here ( Singapore) u need a BOAT licence to ride a jet ski n kite surfing is BANNED too !!!
I think the full license in SA is for 16yo and over.
“Special permit” is 12yo and over.
Same as for a boat here.
A mate has a good racing PWC.
Got it for $5k.
Another mate and I keep talking about strapping out some boards…
I have this horrible feeling that’s gonna happen next winter 
I think we’ll need to add some weight to the boards, personally.
Oh well, hopefully we’ll have some fun…
Anyone have any practical advice on this one?
I don’t know about minimum age - but I suspect there’s a maximum IQ level - above which you choose not to do something so abhorrent…
