Daytona beach jet skiing

[mad_mark]

We are due to touch down on American soil in August and we are planning on spending one day over at Daytona beach if we can tear ourselves away from Disney. My son (14) and I are hoping to try out jet skiing for the first time. Is my son old enough and how easy is it for a complete novice to take a passenger on the back (my wife). Anybody tried it over at Daytona, views or comments most appricated.
Thanks in advance

Never been to Daytona, but I drove a wave runner in 2002 which would have made me 14 at the time, I did just fine. They are very easy to drive, and just as easy to drive with a passanger on the back.

I hear Daytona Beach is beautiful, I'm jealous. I live on the west coast of FL and our beaches are crappy and I never get to go over to the other coast. Have a great trip!

they're very easy to ride/drive... but why go to Daytona for that

Orlando is full of lakes, and I'm certain there has to be a place locally in Orlando that'll help you out
