Answer 1

yea lay on your stomach   hang your legs in water   (make sure bathing suit bottom tight)dont  put your but in the hole  it hurts when u hit wake and are thrown up in the air and land on your back  and pay attention to your surrondings  like other boats and jetskis be careful wear approved PFD (Personal Flotation Device)and last but not least  sun screen skin cancer  kills alot of people have FUN bye

Answer 2

Make sure you are wearing a USCG approved life vest and hold on to the tube for dear life.  Even though it may be tempting, NEVER put your arms or legs through any of the straps or handles to help hold on.  If the tube flips over, you may not be able to free yourself.

Answer 3

Hop on hold on for dear life till the rides overwith. If you have a good boat operator it can be quiet a thrilling ride.

Answer 4

OK safety first. A persoanl flotation device is a must, here in Australia they're a legal requirement, but wether or not it's legal where you are it's a bloody smart decision to wear one. Also while on safety, make sure there is a look out on the boat other than the driver. that way as soon as you stack the spotter alerts the driver immediately and your not left floating back to shore in between other fast moving boats cause the driver cant spot a small little head in a big lake.

Ok, now very important. Be nice to the driver!!! If your cheeky to them they have the power to remind you not too next time by flicking you into a high speed turn into the wake and you into the water.

youll get the feel for the best position. face first on your belly, feet first sitting down, face first upside down or backwards feet first.

if you pick it up pretty quick, as your spun out of the wake on a turn you can even use the momentum to do a 360 spin, like a barrel roll.

good luck and remember its only water, cant really hurt that much.

Answer 5
