The humble jet ski, a beloved recreational watercraft, has a fascinating origin story that often goes overlooked.

While the modern jet ski is a ubiquitous sight on lakes, rivers, and coastlines worldwide, its roots can be traced back to a remarkable moment of innovation and engineering ingenuity.

The origins of the jet ski can be firmly attributed to the pioneering work of Clayton Jacobson II, an American inventor and engineer.

In the late 1960s, Jacobson recognized the potential for a small, personal watercraft that could provide an exhilarating and accessible water-based experience. - https://wintersportelite.com/blog/jet-ski-invention-history/?unique_id_da1a699i
