Relating to: the regulation of wakesurfing and providing a penalty.
SB 1025 regulates wakesurfing by defining the activity and establishing safety requirements. It requires wakesurfers to maintain at least 200 feet from shorelines, docks, people in the water, or other vessels, and mandates wearing a federally approved personal flotation device (PFD). The bill also adds wakesurfing to mandatory boating safety courses, requiring instruction on proper motorboat operation for this activity. These rules apply to recreational wakesurfing, while organized tournaments are exempt under specific conditions.
