couldn’t be easier. Just follow these
concise instructions and we’ll have you
up on your board and carving turns in

THOROUGHLY, IN ITS ENTIRETY, BEFORE USE.
THE OPERATOR’S GUIDE CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY,
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION.
JETBOARD DEFINITION
The term “jetboard” used throughout this Operator’s
Guide, means a personal watercraft with similar
aesthetical characteristics of a traditional surfboard,
that uses an inboard two-stroke engine to provide
power to an axial-flow water-jet pump. Water
passes underneath the board and enters the pump
through an inlet. The water pressure inside the
inlet is increased by diffusing the flow as it passes
through the impeller blades and stator vanes. The
pump nozzle then converts this pressure energy into
velocity, thus producing forward thrust.
The jetboard is designed to be operated by a single
person (“rider” or “operator”) in a propped up prone,
kneeling or standing position on the board. Direction
of the jetboard is controlled by the rider transferring
body weight through either their heels or toes
(depending on the direction of turn) which applies
pressure to one side of the jetboard more than the
other, thus engaging the rail and facilitating the turn.
Acceleration of the jetboard is controlled via a throttle
trigger held in the rider’s hand.
