Water skiing is a great way to spend a day in the summer. This is a team activity, because it involves a driver's boat and water skier, and also pays to have a spotter who can tell the driver if the skier and the skis perpendicular. During the driver safe and ski rope at least 20 meters long, water-skiing is a safe activity.
1. Water safety jacket if you're going waterskiing. You may be an experienced skier and a strong swimmer, but wearing a jacket will keep you safe if you take a heavy fall. Will not interfere with your ability to ski.
2. Give the scouts and the boatman's hand signals when you are ready to begin and end your journey. Typically, a thumbs-up signal will start the trip and baseball umpire "you're out" signal will tell them that you want to end the trip. Turning your thumbs down would signal to the driver slowed the boat.
3. Pay attention when skiing on a busy lake. Your boatman will keep you from traffic, but if you see yourself skiing into a dangerous situation, such as too much traffic, just remove the rope and sit safely into the water.
4. Do not continue to water ski after getting tired. Let the driver know you want complete rest before wearing skis and ski equipment again.
5. Drive safely and at a fair speed, if you're driving a boat. The most important thing is to keep skiers from fishermen or other ski traffic. Know the boating rules and let common sense and experience to help you. Experienced skiers may want to increase the speed that will allow him to ski barefoot and perform other tricks, but can only be accepted if the skier has demonstrated that ability in the past and there is not too much traffic on the water.
Instructions:
· Ski comfortable and did not respond to dare from friends. Do not try to trick until you are ready.
· Do not drink and drive while water skiing or operating a water ski boat.
