Description
The Jetovator is a water sports accessory that extends the ability
of an existing personal watercraft (PWC). The Jetovator does not
come with its own power source and and requires a minimum of **0 hp
personal water craft to operate. The Jetovator redirects the water
thrust from the jet unit of the PWC along a forty foot hose to the
Jetovator body. This water thrust is then used to propel and
elevate the Jetovator into the air. The rider can also redirect the
water thrust of the two front nozzles in order to maneuver the
Jetovator in all directions.
The PWC, which provides the power, follows behind the Jetovator
using the hose as a tether. It is similar to other water sports
accessories like wake boarding or water skiing except the accessory
is actually towing the boat rather than the other way around. The
*0 foot connecting hose is attached to the PWC via a supplied
thrust adaptor that re-directs the jet thrust **0 degrees to the
front of the PWC. This thrust adapter can be easily installed and
removed, allowing the PWC to still be used as normal.
The standard Jetovator kit requires two people to operate it; a
rider on the Jetovator controlling the height, and direction of the
Jetovator, and a rider on the PWC controlling the throttle of the
engine. Although this might sound complicated, generally the rider
of the PWC just takes the throttle up to approximately *0% of full
power and holds it there until the Jetovator rider is ready to come
down (again, very similar to waterskiing or wake boarding).
Having a trained operator on the PWC also makes the Jetovator an
ideal rental vehicle for tourist destinations, as the PWC operator
can apply the ideal amount of thrust based on the operators skill
level. They can also cut the throttle at any time in the event that
either the Jetovator or PWC comes too close to any other boat or
object in the water. The PWC operator can also offer immediate
assistance in the case of any problem.
Despite its impressive aerial capabilities, the Jetovator is
actually incredibly easy to learn to operate. The idea of balancing
atop a moving hose sounds impossible but the Jetovator provides
such a stable platform that we can train just about anybody to
operate it safely and proficiently in twenty minutes.
The Jetovator can attain forward speeds of *5mph and riders can
cruise in comfort for long distances should they choose to. The
production Jetovator is limited to a height of *5 feet and can also
dive under water for brief durations. Skilled riders can also
perform freestyle tricks but we recommend these only be attempted
by well practiced operators in a safe environment clear of any
other people or boats.
The Jetovator is a very safe, thoroughly tested water sports
accessory but, like any powered water sport, it carries some risk.
We highly recommend that both the PWC and Jetovator operators wear
approved marine safety helmets in addition to their mandated life
jackets. We also recommend that every Jetovator operator takes a
minimum one hour training with an approved Jetovator trainer. All
Jetovator distributors will be required to have at least one
approved Jetovator trainer.
