Jet boats

Take water sports to that whole new level! Jet boats give you that ultimate kick which adrenaline junkies seek. A small hull, a big engine and lots of power is the driving force behind these beauties. Jet boat races are held in many water bodies mostly lakes in New Zealand where the water is calm since even a bit of choppy water can overturn the boat. However is must be said that jet boat accidents are very common since generally the tremendous power is very difficult to control. But the sport is gaining in popularity. Another type of jet boat riding is done in white water of swift flowing rivers. Here water is propelled by an engine and is pushed out in a jet so there is no problem of propellers.
