You're Going Towing?

Towing People Behind A Boat Requires A Level Head And Good Boating Skills

- Tyler Jones

With the variety of water sports on the rise, such as wake skating, knee boarding, tube riding and multi-person inflatable riding, it means firstly that there are more people on the water and secondly, that boat drivers need to be far more aware, careful and vigilant when on the water. Here are our top tips to help you improve your towing abilities.

PREMIUM SAFETY

 All fun seekers who are skiing, wakeboarding or tubing behind the boat need to wear an approved PFD which fits snugly and won’t slip of. Often, particularly in high speed skiing and even tubing, there is the chance that concussion can occur when hitting the water, and without a PFD, you chances of survival are dramatically reduced.

GEAR CHECK

 Make sure that all the gear being used is in good condition and does   not show signs of wear. If equipment is looking old and tired, it is time to replace it, as using old equipment can become a towing hazard for those being towed.
