I use a mirror so that I can see what's going on. I don't intend to imply
that my using the mirror replaces having a spotter. It doesn't. A spotter
is
another person who is responsible for watching the person in the water.



I agree, where I like to water ski, there is ALWAYS people and I WILL NOT
use just the mirror with other boaters around. But sometimes during the
week in the big part of the lake before the waves kick up, I will ski with
just my wife driving.....
