(Amendment)
DAR File No.: 34864
Filed: 05/23/2011 03:57:51 PMRULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
Many new water sports have developed over the years. Originally those who participated were always connected to the vessel, but that isn't the case now.
Summary of the rule or change:
Several of the modern water sports such as wake surfing start out by being attached to the vessel, but end up dropping the tow rope where they continue along behind the vessel by riding the wake created by the vessel. A definition needs to be created to include those involved in these types of activities with traditional water sports.
