ok so whats the deal with kids and jet skis on the water? do they have to be 16? if so this kinda sucks. im looking to teach my little one to ride when she gets older. i can understand a 12yo on a turbo couch is not a good idea but i was thinking of a 300sx with a kill cord.
 
it honestly depends on where you go... you will not be hassled if you ride with them somewhere that is less crowded and known... but if you go somewhere like say the Parker strip or havasu then you will be hassled
 
Here in Ky they it is a little different. 12-17 can operate anything as long as they have passed the course


  • Boaters less than 12 years of age may not legally operate any motorized vessel or personal watercraft over 10 horsepower (hp).
  • Boaters aged 12 to 17 may operate motorized vessels, including personal watercraft, provided they have completed a safety course approved by the KDFWR and carry with them their certificate of successful completion, -OR- they are accompanied by a person 18 years of age or older or another boater who possesses a boater education card.
  • There are no vessel education requirements for boaters 18 years of age or older.

well im in ca so im sure its 16 but that sucks i would like to get her on the water by 7 or 8. i dont see why not the last time i was at a race track i saw a little girl on a kart doing really well and she was only 5
 
It actually used to be 12 here in NC but then moved it up to 14, and of course when they did that i was like a week away from turning 12.

You can probably get her on a ski on a private lake, but otherwise it will not be legal.
