Federal law requires certain safety equipment to be onboard
at all times. In addition, responsible boaters carry other
equipment in case of emergency. Check with the local boating
authorities for any additional requirements over and above
the federal stipulations.
Water Sports Names and Terminology
There are many types of towed water sports, and they are
known by many different names. The more popular sports
are wakeboarding, waterskiing, surfing, wakeskating and
tubing. And there are many others. The terms used to describe
participants in towed water sports activities also vary greatly.
Typical terms include rider, skier, and wakeboarder. To keep the
language in this manual straightforward, we use rider or skier
to refer to a participant in any towed water sport. The terms ski,
skiing, riding, surfing or wakeboarding are used to refer to any
towed water sport.

Safety Equipment
Your Supra has been equipped at the factory with most of the
federally required safety equipment for inland waters (Class 1,
16'-to-26'). This equipment includes:
• UL-approved Marine Fire Extinguisher, Type A-BC (2 lbs.)
good for solids, liquids, and electrical fire
• ABYC-approved Marine Mufflers with water injection
• USCG-approved Marine Flame Arrestor
• USCG-approved Engine Box Ventilation with sparkless
power blower
• ABYC-approved Electric Horn sound warning device
• USCG-approved inland lighting
Federal law also requires at least one Type I, II or III Personal
Flotation Device (PFD) for each person on board or being towed
on water skis or other recreational equipment. In addition, one
throwable Type IV PFD must also be on board. As the owner,
obtaining the appropriate PFDs is your responsibility. Your
Supra dealer can and will be happy to assist you.
NOTE: Requirements for coastal waters and inland waters
differ. Check with the local authorities for more information.
