Skiers must wear a USCG approved floatation
device. A Type III water-ski vest is an approved

(opposite the direction of the wind). Stop the motor
at least a boat length from the person.

skier and inform the driver about the skier’s hand
signals (Figure B-17). The driver must give full
attention to operating the boat and the waters
ahead.

Stay away from other boats, beaches, swimmers,
and heavily traveled waterways.
