1 Passenger Stand-up

Once the model of choice for personal watercraft enthusiasts, 1 passenger stand-up PWCs are currently only made by two manufacturers – Kawasaki and Yamaha. These crafts feature smaller 2-stroke engines and lightweight hulls. They may not have the power of the larger runabouts, but stand-up crafts accelerate in a hurry and are much more agile. Ideal for short-course racing, stand-up crafts are also used in freestyle competitions where they put on sensational aerial displays.
