Default Orange Flags (was Jetskier's)

No. But the jetski is supposed to stay at least 100' away from a boat when
crossing the wake. And since most ski / tube ropes are 70' max, there
should not be a problem. But since you are supposed to stop at a stop sign,
there should not be any cross traffic crashes there either.

Is the flag displayed while towing the skier?

We also need the orange triangular flag to be 4 feet high in NJ.

In Missouri (and perhaps other states) an orange flag is to be

displayed
anytime there is a person in the water with a given boat. This seems

dumb
at first, but I can attest to the fact that a lot of times you don't

see
that skier or tuber until you see that flag and look for them. I see

the
orange flag policy trickling into Kansas also although it's not a law

here.

df--

I remember in California we used a red or orange flag whenever the

skier
was down, but as soon as the skiier was up the flag came down. That
wouldn't help a Jet skier notice a Towskier when he's going to jump a
wake.

About orange flags and skiing:
I didn't see any mention of it in the Michigan regulations, nor have I
noticed any skiers here using flags to indicate a sKiel down. I think
the flag's a good idea, but that's what I grew up with.
