jetski

Motorized wave rider

A jetski is a small recreational watercraft ridden like a motorcycle, propelled by a jet of water rather than a propeller.

The rider typically sits or stands astride the craft: We rented jetskis at the beach.

Originally a trademark (Jet Ski), the word now serves as a generic term.

As a verb, to jetski is to ride one.
