Skiing Safety

Skiers are obligated to be as aware of the fundamental safety rules as well as the boat operator. If you are new to water skiing, seek certified training before starting. You will find it especially helpful to join a local ski club and USA Waterski when possible.

Always remember that the majority of water skiing injuries are the result of impacts with other objects, so always look where you are going and be aware of what is going on around you.

Failure to adhere to these warnings may result in severe injury or death to you and/or others.

-Every skier must always wear a USCG-approved personal flotation device.

-Maintain a distance of at least 100 feet from all other objects, including other boats, piers, rafts, mooring and navigational buoys, pilings, abutments, or any other items.

-Always have an experienced driver and observer in the boat when skiing.

-Never ski in shallow water, close to shore, or in water where you do not know the depth or what is beneath the surface.

-Never put your arm, head, or any other part of your body through the handle-bridle of the ski line nor wrap the line around any part of the body at any time.

-Never ski at night, or directly in front of other boats.

-Never jump from a boat that is moving at any speed, nor enter or exit the water when the engine is running (ON).

-Make sure that everyone knows and uses approved skiing hand signals and common skiing courtesy.

Ski Pylon Extensions

The use of a ski pylon extension or extensions in excess of 7-feet vertical is not recommended by Supra on our products. If you elect to use merchandise such as these, be aware that they could create excessive stress on your boat and subjectively cause damages not covered by the warranty.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Safety

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. It is produced by gasoline engines and is a component of exhaust fumes.

Shut off the engine when people are on the swim platform or in the water around the rear of the boat.

Do not teak surf, wake surf, or do any other activities which puts people in close proximity of the transom when the engine is running.

For the most current information on carbon monoxide, you may call, write or visit on-line any of the following:
