Freedom on the
water
With a personal watercraft it’s just you
and a 7-10ft. floating object that is completely open. The sense of freedom out
on the water allows you to enjoy what you would otherwise not be able to see
all at once. Being able to look around 360 degrees without anything around you
is pretty spectacular.
The Luxury
Not many people own personal watercraft like
they do other things, so it’s a privilege if you own one and a treat if
you go to rent one. I remember going to the beach and being jealous of the
people out on the water being able to do that, now that I have one I really
don’t ever want to get off. I love being out on the water because it
something that I don’t take for granted like other things. Other personal
watercraft owners will probably say the same thing since it’s a luxury
not many want to take on.
Recreation for all ages
Personal watercrafts are suitable for all age
groups (except those younger than 5). Even though you cannot operate one until
you are around 14 or 16 (depends on where you live), anyone can ride on a PWC
and enjoy the experience. Yes it is more fun to operate one by your self but
safety comes first, as with any high risk activity. Since the creation of the
sit down, anyone of any age (over 14), size, or shape can enjoy being out on
the water since they are easy to control and operate.
Go where no one else can
In some areas the only way to reach certain
areas in the water is either by a personal watercraft or by a kayak. Because of
its size and relative ease of control, personal watercrafts can go where normal
boats cannot therefore creating the places one can travel greater than the
average boater.
Small and Portable
Going on vacation but don’t want to lug
around a huge boat but want to enjoy being on the water? No problem, with a PWC
that can easily be accomplished. Since most cars can tow around 1,000 lbs
anyone that has a personal watercraft can take it with them on vacation. In the
case of boats, a person would have to go to their local marina or ramp and haul
the boat out whereas a PWC can fit inside of a persons garage.
Tight knit community
The personal watercraft community is close and
always around to help in case of problems. Even out on the water other
operators are friendly and most will even allow you to ride their PWC; try
doing that with a car person, it won’t happen. Internet forums provide
information and solutions to many if not all watercraft ever made, even since
1973!
