Absolutely Yes We have a 100% success rate to date. We have had over 2000 people ride the PowerSki Jetboard™; some overweight, out of shape, non-sportsman like. Everyone has been able to get up and ride, become the JetBoarder flat water surfer.
So it is claimed that the Powerski Jetboard is easy to learn, we at Provectus Lifestyle Asia decide to test this claim & statement ourselves. With our own overweight, out of shape & non-sportsman like first-time Jetboarders (with no experience in surfing or wakeboard), we spend a sunny morning out at St John's Island.
First, we started with laying flat on the board, next we tried sitting. Then kneeling, and sure enough it wasn't long before we could finally stand on the board. Learning to ride the Jetboard is indeed as easy as learning to ride a bicycle.
Of course, turning or staying on the Powerski Jetboard was another story altogether. BUT... in the end, we got the hang of it... well, as long as we were not going too fast.
