Jet Ski
What tips do you have for riding a Jet Ski?
I've never riden a Jet Ski before and wondered if you folks got tips for me on riding them.
I've been riding for 20 years, and I would suggest starting off on a slower model before moving on to one with more power. A early to mid-1990s Sea Doo GTX is a good beginner model. Very stable and not too a ton of speed with full throttle (but still enough to have a blast on!).
Make sure that you know all of the laws in the area that you will be going to. If it's chilly wear a wetsuit, if it's hot make sure to wear tons of sunscreen. Make sure that your lifevest is a Coast Guard arrproved Type III vest. There are some out there that are approved by the Coast Guard but not Type III, so be careful.
If you're starting off as a driver, remember that jet-skiis don't steer if you don't give it any gas! So if you get in trouble, don't shut it off or pull out the key because you won't be able to manuver it. If you're starting off as a passenger rather than the driver, hold on to the person in front of you, not onto the seat strap (if there is one).
If you want to ride a stand-up first, make sure you give it gas to pull you out of the water. It's easiest to start by floating in the water with your knees on the ski rather than on your stomach. In rougher water they get bouncy, so balance is tricky.
That's about it, but if you want to know more, go to the website for the area you will be visiting or to any national park website. You'll find a link there to safe boating guidelines.

Matt Watson catches a Marlin on a Jetski
What is the law for pulling a tube behind a jet ski?
I am going to Lake Sam Rayburn in a week and I need to know if you have mirrors on your jet ski, do you have to have a spotter as well? And do you have to hold up an orange flag when the person falls off the tube? If you don't know, any ideas where I can find out? Thanks!
Be advised that lake has a lot of standing timber that has long since broken off at the water line. Depending on the water level when you're there, could be lots of open water with trees just inches from the surface.
Get a map and pay attention.
For towing, you must have an observer 13 years or older
*OR*
be equipped with a review mirror at least 4" high & 4" across.
No flag.
Texas boating regs can be found at
http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us
Regs applicable to all motorboats apply to PWC, plus the following:
*PFDs must be worn by all occupants.
*Person being towed is an "occupant" so you must have an empty seat available.
*Illegal to operate PWC between sunset and sunrise.
*Illegal to operate PWC within 50 of another vessel, person, platform or shore except at no wake speed.
*Illegal to jump wakes recklessly or unnecessarily close.
Especially note that it's illegal to operate in a circular course around fishermen or swimmers. For your own personal safety, I'd advise you to give fishermen a wide clearance -- it's a big lake, no need to crowd anybody. About a 60% probability of finding firearms aboard any bass boat you encounter.
And for pete's sake learn what a "NO-WAKE" bouy looks like, and what it means.
