Location
A typical jetsprint course consists of several channels interconnected by cross channels and curved sections. Often these channels join the main channels at angles other than 90 degrees while the curved sections can be either sweeping or very tight.
Description
A jetsprint boat crew consists of two people. The driver, whose responsibility it is to steer the boat. Beside the driver sits the navigator, whose responsibility is to guide the driver through the course.
The navigator guides the driver via simple hand signals, pointing the hand in the direction that the boat must go at the next intersection or indicating the direction of a turn.

The race consists of a predefined course through the channels with 25 to 30 changes of direction. These races generally take between 45-60 seconds.
