We pull a skier with the jetski's all the time. You have to have a spotter who is physically able to rescue the person being towed in case he or she becomes incapacitated, have a seat available on the jet ski to be able to put that person on and finally the spotter needs to be looking at the person being towed and the only way to do this is to sit backwards on the jetski. Our jetski also has a large grab bar for the spotter to hold onto as 4Fun mentioned. Our boat is a little too big and throws out too much of a wake for novice water skiiers so this is a great alternative!

We have towed tubes with our jetski. However, you are limited to to a single tube because a spotter is required for each tuber or skier. So no double rider tubes. The spotter rides "backwards" and holds on to the grab bar. Actually, I feel more secure hanging on to the grab bar because it is solid molded plastic where when I face forward the easiest thing to hold onto is either the driver or a thin strap. You never go that fast while towing anyway.
