It is the watercraft operator’s responsibility to
be alert to the safety of the wakeboarder or
water-skier and others. Know and follow all
state and local regulations in effect for the
waters in which you will be operating.
The operator should be comfortable carrying
passengers before attempting to pull a wake-
boarder or water-skier.
The following are some important consider-
ations for minimizing risks while pulling a
wakeboarder or water-skier.
 The wakeboarder or water-skier should
wear an approved PFD, preferably a bright-
ly colored one so boat operators can see
the person being pulled.
 The wakeboarder or water-skier should
wear protective clothing. Severe internal in-
juries can occur if water is forced into body
cavities as a result of falling into the water.
