guidelines:

inherent in the sport and the proper use of the equipment.

• Always wear a U.S. Coast Guard Type III (PFD) vest.
• Inspect all equipment prior to use. Check bindings, fins and flotation devise prior
to each use. Do not use if damaged.
• Tow ropes stretch during use. If a rope breaks or is suddenly released, it can snap
back striking boat occupants or the user which could result in injury or death.
• Inspect rope before use. Do not use tow rope if frayed, knotted or damaged. Use
proper tow rope for the activity.
