Besides, depending on your physical condition and riding style, they can be very rough on the lower back.
Disagree. Jetski's are basically just small boats, and, as with any boat in salt water requires a little extra maintenance. As for the fear of gators🐊 in freshwater, it doesn't seem to deter other small boats, canoes or kayaks. Enjoy your jet ski and have fun.
