The following tips will help you safely enjoy this thrilling sport: Always have an observer in the boat. The boat driver cannot watch the skier and operate the boat safely at the same time. Always wear a Coast Guard approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD) designed for water skiing. Ski belts are not recommended. Your approved PFD will help keep you afloat. Never ski in rough water. High waves or a choppy sea will prevent the tow boat from maintaining a steady course and speed. Stay well clear of congested areas and obstructions. Waterskiing requires a lot of open area. Don't spray or "buzz" swimmers, boats, or other skiers. Such stunts are dangerous, discourteous, and could cause an unintentional collision. Never ski after dark. It is hazardous. Any boat traveling fast enough to tow a skier is traveling too fast to navigate safely at night. Never waterski while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Such activity is extremely dangerous because of the impairment to your judgment and ability to respond. Use hand signals between the skier and observer. Agree before you start what each signal means so there is no confusion at a critical moment.
