There are many factors involved in determining proper wetsuits for your type waterskiing. Water temperature; the
warmer the water, the less protection you need; the colder the water, the more protection you want. Wetsuits insulate your body in
two ways. First, wetsuits trap a thin layer of water between your suit and skin to reduce heat loss. Second, wetsuits keep
cold water away from your skin, so you receive further insulation.
Persons engaged in barefoot, jump, or trick water skiing may elect to wear wetsuits designed for that particular activity and labeled
by the manufacturer as waterski wetsuits. A Coast Guard approved personal flotation devices shall be carried in the tow vessel
for each skiier electing to wear one of these wetsuits.
