When I got my first jetsurf a year ago I had to annoy Wayne and Jeff every time I had a question as it was really hard to find any info online. So after 1 year of jetsurfing and finishing the technical training I am ready to give my tips and tricks for jetsurf riders.
Today we start the series

How to self rescue in the ocean? Jetsurf safety tips.
In this short video im going to show you a self rescue tip that i am
using myself when jetsurfing alone in the open ocean and rough
conditions…
The tips are for ocean jet surfers who ride alone in the rough
conditions. Of course you won’t need flippers in the lake where it’s
30 meters to swim to the shore in the flat water.
What im going to show you might look funny until it is not, because
there is nothing worse than getting stuck alone in the middle of the
ocean far away from the shore with big waves, rocks and rip currents
around you and no plan B.
And if you think it will never happen to you, trust me, it happened
several times to me. The board is very reliable but it can still break
for no reason, or even worse you may get a stick, debris, sea weed or
even fishermans net stuck in the propeller and there is no way to get
it out without the tools. You can also flood your engine during
wipeout or simply run out of gasoline. There are many things that can
go wrong and it’s always better be prepared.
The rule of thumb is saying - never ride further than you are ready to
swim back, but i guess nobody is following it, especially in the ocean
where you have to be far enough from the shore to avoid the waves.
So without further ado, let me jump straight into the ocean to show
you the funny but helpful solution that i use when there are nobody
around to help me. lets go!
We will cover
- Why you need plan B in the ocean?
- Security backpack with flipper, paddle gloves and the phone
- The tips are for ocean jet surfers who ride alone in the rough
conditions. Of course you won’t need flippers in the lake where it’s
30 meters to swim to the shore in the flat water.

How to get rid of the water from the flooded engine? Water in engine jetsurf?
Water in engine of jetsurf? No problem! In this new short tips&tricks
video I will show you how to get rid of the water from the flooded
engine.
It’s really not a big issue though. I use jetsurf over 1 year in the
ocean with real waves and never had to get water out of engine. If you
are careful, it never gets in! Make sure you are never sitting or
laying on the board or flip it over, and you’ll be fine!
