Jet ski racing is a competitive water sport where participants race on personal watercraft, commonly known as jet skis. Races can take place on various water bodies, including lakes, rivers, and oceans. Competitors navigate through a designated course, often marked by buoys, and aim to complete the race in the shortest time possible. Racers can compete individually or in teams, and events are often organized by local, national, or international governing bodies. Safety gear, such as life jackets and helmets, is mandatory to protect participants. Jet ski racing has gained popularity worldwide, attracting both amateur and professional racers.
