jetski racing

Personal watercraft sport

Jetski racing is competitive sport involving personal watercraft—small, powerful vehicles ridden like motorcycles on water.

Races take place on courses marked by buoys, with riders navigating tight turns at high speeds.

Professional circuits exist, but the term also covers informal racing: We spent the afternoon jetski racing around the lake.
