Skier's Choice Supra Boats SV 2024 Owner's Manual page 8

Safe Boating
Safe boating practices may seem obvious, but people have thought up risky and dangerous activities in boats,
with boats, and behind boats. Just because you or your passengers have seen a boating maneuver performed
or have seen a particular activity promoted, do not assume there is no risk of injury or death. Before you or
your passengers go out in the boat and engage in any water sport activity, give careful consideration to the
risks. Plan ahead. Think twice before you try something new behind your boat or with your boat. Know the
limits of you, your passengers and your equipment and do not exceed them.
In addition to careful review of this manual, you should be aware as well that there are many sources of infor-
mation available. Skier's Choice urges you to pursue additional training, such as safety and seamanship cours-
es offered by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the U.S. Power Squadron.
Safe boating and safe actions may seem obvious, yet every year US Coast Guard statistics give evidence that
many people disregard safe boating practices. Do not take safety for granted. Think twice. We want all our
boat owners and their passengers, friends, and families to have a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.
