Water toys and water sports are very popular for boaters today. Host John Greviskis gives some tips for first time players.
There are several fun water toys on the market today, but one of the most popular is a cover tube that holds three people. The tube is attached to the boat with a "T" ring (figure A) and rope.
Note: States have different laws concerning the use of cover tubes on the water. Be sure to become familiar with your state's restrictions before using one.
Make sure that when you are pulling someone on a water toy or a skier, that you have another person with you on the boat to act as an observer. Another tip is to have a mirror (figure B) installed on your console so that you can see what is going on behind you. State law requires that you have either an observer or a mirror.
A very important tool to have if you own an inflatable water toy is a professional pump. Water toys are typically large and putting air into them with a manual pump can be time consuming.
