RAVE Sports Aqua Buddy Water Ski/Wakeboard Trainer - Manual (Page 4)

• Do not use in shallow water. This product is intended to be used
in open water, a good distance away from docks, pilings or other
hard objects.
• Use with a properly rated water ski/wakeboard rope only. The
user of the Aqua Buddy must hold onto the handle end of the
water ski/wakeboard rope.
• The Aqua Buddy is designed to assist the skier/wakeboarder
during starts. It allows the user and device to travel together on
the top of the water for a short distance and eliminates the timing
and strength required with traditional “deep water” starts. When
the skier stands up, the Aqua Buddy remains behind floating on
the water.
• Never tie a tow rope directly to the Aqua Buddy.
• Inspect the Aqua Buddy as well as your water ski/wakeboard
equipment prior to each use. Ensure the Aqua Buddy is firmly
inflated and is not damaged in any way. Inspect fins and bindings
for loose screws, wear, cracks, delamination, tearing or other
damage.
• Water skiing instruction should be given to the user before
attempting to ski/wakeboard from the Aqua Buddy. Instruction on
body position, proper skiing techniques and general safety
guidelines will reduce your risk of injury.
• The faster you ski, the greater your risk of injury. Beginners using
children’s trainer skis should be towed at slower speeds that allow
for reasonable control and stability. Beginners should use extra
caution under the direct supervision of an adult or other
experienced rider.
