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

  • Bindings must fit snug without cutting circulation.
  • Driver and spotter roles must be clear.
