🚨 Ride Rules

🦺 Stay Between the Lead and Sweeper

Two riders will wear high-visibility vests:

Lead rider at the front
Sweeper at the back

Stay between these two riders at all times.

📻 If You Lose the Group

If you cannot see the lead or sweeper, stop in a safe location and use your radio to contact us immediately. Do not continue riding alone.

🐬 Dolphin Rule

On the way to Catalina, feel free to follow dolphins with the group as long as everyone stays together.

On the ride home, do not leave the group to chase dolphins. Some riders may be low on fuel, someone may experience a mechanical issue, or a rider could become separated. Stay on course and ride home together.

⛽ Fuel

Start with a full tank and conserve fuel throughout the ride. Avoid unnecessary wide-open throttle or excessive detours.

🔧 Mechanical Problems

If you experience a problem:

Stay calm
Contact the lead or sweeper by radio
Stay with your ski
Do not attempt an unsafe tow
Follow instructions from the ride leaders

🌊 Ride Safely

Maintain a safe following distance and ride within your experience level. Do not weave through the group, race, or make sudden unpredictable movements.
