Tuesday, Sept. 5,1989 Recreation SB Jet skiing - it can be done right South Seas duo promotes safe operation, supports legislation By Rick Fowler Islander staff writer Amid the controversy surrounding the use of jet skis in island waters there is one operator, Holiday Water Sports, that makes it difficult for even the staunchest opponents of the sport to find fault. ^ Mike and Lucy Faircloth took over the jet ski con- cession at South Seas Plantation two years ago and have set a standard for courtesy and safe usage of these water craft. Most of the controversy has historically stemmed from safety concerns, as jet skis have been involved in several deaths and numerous in- juries statewide. The second most common complaint concerning the jet ski is its noise, which disrupts the tranquility of our islands. Unlike most other operators, Holiday Water Sports has focused on saftey with such practices as an age usage restriction, required parental permission for anyone under 18 years of age, mandatory usage of life jackets, the establishment of designated riding areas away from swimmers and major boat lanes and the requirement that a certified instructor must accom- pany anyone renting such a craft. Lucy Faircloth takes a ride with a renter. Photo by RICK FOWLER The-Faircloths also do not allow usage of these water craft prior to 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. taking over the concession at South Seas.
