you forgot to add the jet ski, trailer and truck

If you ride in ocean surf, ocean waves, or ocean rollers found in the inlets, keep a 20 foot bungie onboard to tie yourself to the ski. I always do this. If you fall off you need a way to get back to the ski. We had a couple of locals die when they got separated from their skis

I would cut off the plastic clips that come on the tow rope in the seadoo kit. Put on metal snap hooks or something. I bought one when I got my ski in 2018. The first time I used it to tow, one of the plastic hooks broke. Granted I was towing a small boat, but still, you never know who you are going to help on the water.

A signal flag and a signal mirror are also good, even in inland waters.

Having a dedicated heaving line in a throw bag, and using it only for rescue is a good thing to have. Doesn’t take up any space, and can save a life. Do not use it for towing or anything else except water rescue. They are cheap. So is a throwable PFD, can get them for under 20 bucks. If boating in popular areas, it handy to have incase of someone else in the water.

I carry about 2 different first aid kits on my ski. One of the small ones in the little case and then another one that I keep in the dry storage under the seat that is larger.

A good flashlight is always good, not the cheap one that comes in the kits.

I gave up carrying dock bumpers. It’s a toy, it’s going to get beat up even with the bumpers.

Having a pen or sharpie, in its own bag incase it leaks, along with keeping a small post it pad is also good incase you need to write something down, like in the event of an accident.

Sunscreen is also a must, and lip protection, something with high SPF. Good cheap glasses you don’t care if you loose them, and maybe a floating glasses lanyard for them.

Extra PWC key in the tool kit.

If you don’t have a way to charge your phone, a battery pack and cable for your phone.

A small battery booster pack is helpful to have too.

If doing off coast rides, a marine radio, a handheld floating one, and even a locator beacon if needed and you can afford the extra costs.

A towel or two in a dry bag and an extra hat is also nice.

Everything except for the beacon and radio should be a must for all PWC owners.

Lake Powell is one place I want to go. But I love Lake Havasu. And I am in So Cal.

Fuses. Especially with all the electronics on the new skis. You never know what fuse goes to what. Some tome back I was riding my fzr and it died I. The middle if knowhere. Whole straded my cousin happened to call and he reminded me I told him while back i thought my factory installed bilge pump was going out. Sure enough the fuse was blown I didn't have a spare fuse so after a disconnected the bilge pump I cut off some wiring room a solar charger I keep on my ski too and jumped the fuse which got me home.

I love how the US Coast Guard requires you to have a fire extinguisher on a personal watercraft. Like I am going to use it when I am standing on something so small... I am going to jump off and let that b** burn. If I am lucky I might jump off the side so it rolls over and has a chance of putting the fire out. If I am unlucky I am probably going to be thrown from the thing anyway and dont have to worry about burning with the thing.

1:26  only if you have a SeaDoo

Where does it all get stashed?
You need to explain how to load a jetski sensibly and safely - and the various storage options/ add-ons for popular models for this to have any real value...
For example that huge fuel cannister wouldn't be compatible with many skis?

So excited for adventures with my new ski

Nice, first i need a jet ski :'(

A tow rope for seadoo owners and a pack of wear rings lol

I live in Arizona and Lake Powell and Horseshoe Canyon are going to happen. GTR 230

Whistel isn't not requrired in all states. When I bought my Spark in McKinney they dropped that ball on me about a whistle and the Game Warden does check if they pull you over. In my 19 years riding in California, Arizona and Nevada a whistle has never been required.
I just bought a Jetblaster in Long Beach Califorina and in CA even to this day a whistle is not required, HOWEVER all persons who operate a vessel must have a watercraft licence (I forget what year but even at 35 I'm soon to not be exempt for that).

In short, always look up your local and state laws, Oh and though I'm back in Arizona I still Ride with a whistle.

@7:09 its called a multi tool or a gerber. Great video!

At 6:26, I found my missing dock bumper!   Great info for everyone out there. Have fun and be safe in PR

I would add taking your phone, a marine radio, and wallet w credit card on every outing.  If you need a tow, marine radio and credit card is essential. If you get a marine radio, get an MMSI# and make sure the radio supports DSC/AIS

Hey, how about a Miami to Puerto Rico via the Bahamas and Dominican Republic trip…….that would be a wild ride then we’ll ship the skis back to Galveston?……..Today’s date is May 20,2025…What say you?

Nice video Alvean, also in the Netherlands we are impressed 💪💪

Not just any fire extinguisher, get the correct one,theres a few diffrent types

That camera is crazy (good)
It looks like you’re green screened, but I know that doesn’t make since
Lol

Hi, great video but where do you store it all
