LAW ENFORCEMENT
When underway, operators may be required to cease manoeuvres and allow U.S. Coast Guard* or
state law enforcement personnel to come alongside. Some Countries, States and jurisdictions may
require a minimum age to operate the power board, pass a training course, and/or possess an op-
erator’s license. Requirements vary widely. If operating in a location that allows minors, such activity
should be done only under adult supervision.
Be sure to check annually regarding requirements for legal and safe operation of the power board.
UNDER THE INFLUENCE
Under no circumstances should a power board rider ever operate under the inuence of alcohol
or drugs, including prescription drugs that have potentially disorienting side eects. This can be as
dangerous as driving a car while under the inuence!
REGISTRATION
In many jurisdictions, it will not be necessary to register the power board with the state of principal
use. However, because the power board is motorized, registration may be necessary. Verify with the
state and local law enforcement entities in the area in which the power board will be used most prior
to using for the rst time.
SPEEDING/NOISE
Some areas have restrictions regarding speed related to creating waves and maximal noise restric-
tions. Operators of power boards are required to adhere to these requirements.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Operating the power board requires full attention. JetSurf™ strongly recommends leaving cell phones
(including waterproof models), radios, iPods, and other devices ashore during outings. The distrac-
tions can potentially lead to accidents.
JUMPS ON JETSURF
TM
NEVER JUMP with the motorized power board! Damage caused due to incorrect use of your JetSurf™
(for example jumps) is not covered by the guarantee.

REPORTING ACCIDENTS AND INSURANCE
Federal law requires reporting of accidents in which:
- A person dies;
- A person disappears from the vessel in what appears to be a situation that could have resulted in
death or serious injury;
-A person is injured and requires medical assistance beyond minor rst aid;
- Damage to vessel and/or property that exceeds the amount stipulated by law. The total may be
lower in some jurisdictions and it is the responsibility of the owner/operator to verify;
- The power board is destroyed.
Any instance in which other vessels or persons appear in distress, power board operators are re-
quired by law to oer assistance unless doing so would result in potential danger to the power board
operator. Good Samaritan protection is provided to anyone who oers good faith assistance.
Even when others operate the power board, the owner is generally responsible for damages or
injuries that may occur. Owners must not allow any Third Party to operate the JetSurf™ without prior
instruction in correct use and operational risks. Owners are strongly encouraged to carry sucient
liability and property insurance to provide in anticipation of potential judgments in those instances.
Theft and on-shore damage are additional reasons to purchase insurance.
REFUSE AND POLLUTION
The U.S. Coast Guard* and/or relevant Authority which applies to the region where the JetSurf™ is
used provides detailed information regarding the disposal or refuse. In general, refuse, even bio-de-
gradable, should be disposed properly on-shore. If the user deduces that there are any substances
that could pollute waters leaking from the board, it should be presented to an authorised JetSurf™
dealer for repair. Pollution laws and regulations are stringent in most areas.
At no time should the power board owner and/or operator alter the engine exhaust system or fuel
system in any fashion. Doing so is both illegal and potentially dangerous.
