There are actually some reasonably nice jet ski drivers. I am, for instance, not prone to chasing ducklings or playing chicken with other boats. However my neighbor to the north has two kids who would be far better off riding plastic logs than operating jet skis. What we need is something that takes advantage of the very nature of jet ski operators and then turns that against them but does not interfere with the safe operation of a jet ski. For instance, we know that jet ski drivers love to go around and around in circles so perhaps we can design something that rests lightly at the bottom of the water but has just enough buoyancy that any vertex puts it into motion and causes it to rise. This has the advantage of pinpointing the jet ski because, as near as I can tell, other than playboat kayak paddlers, no other boaters are so prone to turn in endless circles.
