ABSTRACT:
A braking system for a personal water craft which is activated when a high velocity water jet is cut off. The braking system is comprised of a planar member attached to a rear portion of the water craft. The braking member is movable to an elevated non-operative position during a discharge of the high velocity water jet and to a lowered operative position during a cut off of the water jet. In a first embodiment of the invention, the planar braking member is automatically movable to the operative position and to the non-operative position. In a second embodiment, the planar braking member is manually elevated to the non-operative position and manually lowered to the operative position by a link or a cable.
