Section 1

Watersports Safety

Skiers or riders are obligated to be aware of the same fundamental
safety rules as boat operators. If you are new to water skiing,
wakeboarding, wake surfing, and other towed watersports, seek
certified training before starting. You will find it especially helpful
to join a local ski club, World Wakeboard Association, and/or the
USA Water Ski, when possible.
Always remember that the majority of injuries occurring while
water skiing/wakeboarding and other towed watersports are the
result of impacts with other objects. Always look where you are
going and be aware of what is going on around you.
When participating in towing watersports, be safe and courteous
and follow these guidelines:
• Be considerate to fishermen and others who are sharing the
same body of water.
• DO NOT perform watersports in congested areas.
• Stay away from navigation markers.
• Stay away from other boats and watersports participants.
Do not enter or exit the water when the engine is running
(ON) and the propeller is spinning.
Do not get on the swim platform when the engine is
running.
Do not swim towards the back of the boat if the engine
is on.
