Operators must be qualified. Make sure the operator is 16 or older and has taken
a boater safety course. Your state (or province) may have additional require-
ments. Laws regarding the minimum age and licensing requirements vary from
one jurisdiction to another. Be sure to contact the local boating authorities for in-
formation regarding the legal operation of a watercraft in the intended jurisdiction
of use.
Operation of this watercraft with a disability that impairs vision, reaction time,
judgment, or operation of the controls is not recommended.
Remember that sun, wind, fatigue or illness may impair your judgment and reac-
tion time.
Each passenger must be able to simultaneously place both feet firmly flat against
each footwell when properly seated.

Never ride after consuming alcohol or drugs. Riding on a watercraft requires the
operator and passenger(s) to be sober, attentive and alert. The use of drugs and
alcohol, singly or in combination, decreases reaction time, impedes judgment,
impairs vision, and inhibits your ability to safely ride on a watercraft.

Many countries recommend or require a boating safety course. Check with your
local competent authorities.

watercraft. Learn the local navigation rules.

All riders MUST wear:
1. An approved P P e e r r s s o o n n a a l l F F l l o o t t a a t t i i o o n n D D e e v v i i c c e e ( ( P P F F D D ) ) meeting your country regu-
lations. The size of the PFD shall be appropriate for the wearer.
2. S S h h o o r r t t s s w w i i t t h h n n e e o o p p r r e e n n e e (wetsuit material) to keep water from being forcefully
injected into rectum or vagina during a fall backward. Riders not wearing neo-
prene shorts have received severe rectal, vaginal, and internal injuries result-
ing in permanent damage. Normal swimwear does not adequately protect
against forceful entry of water into the lower male or female body opening(s).
Footwear, gloves, safety goggles or glasses can be worn. Wind, water spray,
bugs and speed may cause a person's eyes to water and create blurred vision.
