What is Jet Skiing?
The Jet Ski it is better known in Spain as a jet ski: it is the name given to a water vehicle generally single-seater or two-seater (even three-seater in certain more uncommon models). Powered by a turbine, they are considered eco-friendly vessels because the propulsion process results in oxygenation of the water.
There are many companies that manufacture jet skis, including Yamaha, Honda and Kawasaki. The latter was the first company to start producing jet skis on a large scale. The Jet Skis were initially single-seater and without a seat, accommodating a person standing on the chassis. Later they evolved to carry generally two crew, but with the possibility of 3 people in the larger models.
To do Jet Ski in Tenerife, it is essential to wear life jackets: they contribute to the iconic image of it, jumping through the waves with the bright orange vest at high speed. Safety, as always, is the most important thing and these vests are mandatory during the use of the Jet Ski. It is optional to wear a wetsuit underneath it, they are usually used to avoid burns and/or sliding on wet surfaces of the vehicle.
Jet Ski in Tenerife has become an internationally renowned sport, with both racing and Freestyle competitions all over the world during different times of the year, as the sea allows. It even has video games created by Nintendo and other companies: a testament to the reach of this hobby.
