WATER SAFETY RESOURCES

• Wake Boat Wave Research (2022, University of Minnesota)

• ​Wake Boat Etiquitte

  • Stay at least 150 feet away from structures or shore; ride the core, avoid the shore.

  • Minimize repetitive passes.

  • Drive a predicted path. In Michigan, boats must travel in a counterclockwise traffic flow.

  • Avoid close passes to other boats, and don't follow another boat too closely.

  • Don't impede traffic. Wakesurfers usually travel at 10 to 12 mph. Avoid wakesurfing in fairways and busy areas.

  • Look before you turn.

  • Refrain from tricks when near other boats.

  • Early morning times usually have less traffic.

  • Keep in mind that local boating laws and navigation rules still apply. Follow them and everyone will enjoy their time on the water we share.

  • Keep music at a responsible level; sound travels much farther than you think on the water, and loud music can ruin other boaters' peace and quiet.
