Towed Equipment (applies to surfboarding and other types of towed equipment as well as water skiing):

(a)

Except on safe take-offs and landings, boats with skiers under tow must keep 200 feet or more from shore. A safe take-off or landing will not be considered “safe” unless it can be accomplished without risk to any swimmer or craft within 200 feet from shore line. If a safe landing as thus defined is not possible, skiers must be picked up by the boat before coming within 200 feet from shore line and brought to shore under the usual speed restrictions (5 MPH within 200 feet of shore). Boats towing skiers may exceed 5 MPH to the extent necessary to maintain the skier in a skiing position, within the 200 feet from shore line, only when taking off or landing under safe conditions as outlined in this subsection. However, water skiing, including take-off and landing, is prohibited in the areas listed in subsections (2)(b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this rule;

(b)

All take-offs and landings will be made perpendicular to the shore line;

(c)

No person shall operate a boat following behind a skier closer than 300 feet, nor cross the towing boat’s bow less than 200 feet, nor alongside a skier closer than 100 feet.

(2)

No person shall operate a motorboat in excess of a “slow—no wake” speed in the following areas;

(a)

Within 200 feet of the shoreline (except under conditions authorized in subsection (1)(a) of this rule;

(b)

Within 200 yards of the northwest shore of Piety Knob;

(c)
