BuddyRequiredOpen water
  • Arms Straight

    Let the boat pull you up — pulling with arms causes face plants and wrist strain.

  • Spotter Required

    Driver never watches rider — dedicated spotter maintains eye contact at all times.

  • Check Bindings

    Bindings too tight cut circulation; too loose eject feet on hard landings.

Safety Notes

  • Edge progressively not abruptly to reduce face plants.
  • Wear impact vest in rocky shallow areas.
