Anyway, Mr Sim told me to took up this course so that I have a better understanding in future to support JJ when he conducted the course. As a staff, of course the course was paid by the club. ;p The course is only of a half day duration and I took the afternoon session. Each course could be up to 4 persons and a minimum of 2 persons. Visit SAFYC for more detail on the course.
An introduction to the jetski was provided by the instructor, JJ and after that its hand-on time. One by one, each of us went on the machine and tried out the throttle (not too much as we were still in the marina), turning, reversing and also jumping into the water and getting back onto the ski. It was fun doing all this "drills", and most importantly the alongside drill...
After the hand-on in the marina, the students took their individual ride and proceed out of the marina at slow speed. Once we cleared the "No wake zone", JJ pick out speed and proceed to direct us to do some manoeurves. Once we are confident of the machine, we took a ride to NSRCC Sea Sports Centre, it was quite a ride there probably due to the bad sea state. Nevertheless we made it there and went on to an empty spot and had more time with the machine before proceeding back to the club.
The course ended with JJ showing the student how to clean up the machine after use as well as the maintenance required to keep the jetski at it best. Overall, I find that the course is definitely worth it price and best of all you get to enjoy the fun, especially so if you sign up the course with your friends. Dun forget minimum 2 to go... ;p
