Water Skiing/Tubing Laws

[Sman]

I agree with everything you said, except this...

I disagree most with the limit of two people being towed behind a boat. As long as each person has their own observer, I believe towing a couple more people would be safe.

if I understand you, towing, say 4 people is ok? man that is getting pretty busy back there, which means you have a driver and 4 people in the boat, with 4 ropes and likely 4 tubes...

you would need a big boat to haul 9 people and 4 tubes...I must have misunderstood you.

Don't want to speak for him, but I assumed he was talking about pulling a tube that can hold multiple people.

first time I have seen one of those, pretty funny, probably fun once then not so much, so I guess if you want to do that on winni you can't

would be handy though if you had a bunch of visitors that all wanted to go tubing, one ride and everyone is done. you would need 5 more friends to observe

Rode on one of those in the Bahamas while on my honeymoon. One guy that was with us and I went for a couple rides, sitting in the very back (this banana tube had 2 rows of seats). We were goofing around, and we both fell off...twice. One more time and they were going to boot us.
It was a blast though! Water temp musta been 95+. Not refreshing, but still fun!
