SAFETY INFORMATION 23
his attention on operating the water-
craft and the waters ahead.
You need to have seats for everyone:
operator, observer, towed person.
Therefore, if you are the only vessel,
your watercraft must have a seating
capacity of 3 or more and you can tow
only one person.
T To ow wiin ng g a an nd d O Ob bsse errvviin ng g
If you have never towed someone be-
hind your watercraft before, it is a
good idea to spend some hours as an
observer, working with and learning
from an experienced operator. It is al-
so important to be aware of the skill
and experience of the person being
towed.
Pulling a tube, skier or wakeboarder
makes the watercraft handle differ-
ently and requires greater skill.
Always respect the safety and comfort
of the person being towed.
Proceed with only as much speed as
required and follow the observers’
instructions.
Do not make tight sharp turns or use
the braking system unless absolutely
necessary. Remember that although
this watercraft is manoeuvrable and
has stopping capabilities, the person
in tow may not be able to avoid an ob-
stacle, or your watercraft.
If you are the observer, make sure
you and the person being towed know
the hand signals.

The best seat as an observer should
be one where the observer can see
both the operator and the skier or
wakeboarder. Make sure the operator
can see and hear the observer for
instructions.
