is it illegal to wakeboard doubles. 2 people bechind the boat at the same time. <BR>ive done it many times at my river house but there are no cops for miles. just wondering for riding in other places. <BR>thanks <BR>kg

We do it all the time with boat cops all around and have never read a law that said it was illegal. I'm going with legal.

ya its not illegal. i took a coast guard class a little over a year ago adn it doesnt say any where you cant. we have done it multiple times

Legal and illegal...depends on local laws. <BR> <BR>For example...Blue Marsh = illegal, susquehanna river = legal

I was in N Cali last weekend pulling doubles and the sheriff waved and kept on going.

I believe the local laws in Northern Cali are similar, and states that there must 1 spotter for every rider you have in the water (e.i. triples = 3 spotters + driver)

lfrider92 06-06-2009 11:19 AM

nick, you might be right, im not sure though. but we have done doubles with just one spotter. and had 2 people on a tube and 1 on a board with one spotter. no one has ever said anything

Yeah, I'm not 100% either. just what I have heard over the years. I've had 5 riders on different things behind the boat before and never got pulled over. Maybe stop and ask the patrol in your area?

Wisconsin you can have 2 lines attached. <BR> <BR>So 2 wakeboarders, two tubes (but as many people as you can cram on them).... anything more you need a pickup boat to follow
