The Jet Ski is capable of reaching
very high speeds and thus it
is advisable that you go along
with an instructor if you are
trying this for the first time.
The machine is very easy to
operate but the high speed may
be a bit difficult to control
for a while. Once you have mastered
to maneuver the ski according
to the ocean waves and the speed,
you can have a jolly experience
skiing around. A particular
area in the ocean is marked
for jet skiing where it is safe
and one is advised not to cross
the demarcation. Jet skiing

sports in Goa and many beaches

and try not to get carried away

| Water-Skiing |

Skiing
on water does sound a different.
A little new to the adventure
sports arena of India, water
skiing is a lot more thrilling
from snow skiing. The first
major factor is that there’s
no snow or mountainous slopes
instead one glides on water.
Secondly, you need to be good
swimmer because you never know
when you have to let go off
the tow-rope attached to the
boat.Splashing through the watery
depths isn’t new for those
who love to glide through waves.
There’s a good similarity
between surfing and water skiing
but the major difference is
that here your hands aren’t
free. While surfing take places
in the high tides of the ocean,
water skiing is not restricted
to sea only; it can be done
in lakes too. |
