Know your water.
Review local rules, navigation markers, hazards, weather, and traffic before leaving the dock.
Responsible wake sports start with good judgment, safe operation, and respect for every person and place that shares the water.
Every thoughtful choice on the water helps protect Maine’s lakes, strengthen relationships with lake communities, and preserve wake sports for the next generation.
Review local rules, navigation markers, hazards, weather, and traffic before leaving the dock.
Use a capable, attentive operator and spotter. Keep the crew ready, seated safely, and equipped for the conditions.
Choose open water, slow down around others, and avoid repeated passes near shorelines, docks, swimmers, paddlers, or anglers.
Help MWSC share practical education and bring riders and lake communities into the same conversation.
