There are some areas where waverunners are banned, due to environmental reasons. The British Virgin Islands, for example, ban them “in an effort to maintain the BVI’s pristine and peaceful environment.” Due to the many nature and wildlife preserves, certain areas around the world have also banned the use of waverunners, or at the least have restrictions on their usage. There are many other water toys that can offer similar thrills, such as the Flyboard, which has gained tremendous popularity as of late.
