As Bayou Texar becomes more crowded with boat traffic, it also becomes more dangerous.
However, if we all try to follow a few basic safety rules and if we are all courteous to others,
then we can continue to enjoy safe fun on the bayou.
- Please keep a safe distance between your boat or jet ski and other boats, skiers, and
docks. If you play chicken with another boat or a dock, you may lose.
- Never tailgate a skier, wakeboarder, or tuber with your boat or jet ski. Please try to stay
way behind any boat in front of you. Violation of this rule can be fatal!
- Boat drivers should always pay attention to whatever is going on in front of their
boats. Your observer should watch the skier at all times.
- Promptly return to a fallen skier. Approach your fallen skier from the driver's side of
your boat. Fallen skiers should hold their skis up to help boaters see them.
- Always look before you turn.
- Please avoid excessive speed in crowded conditions.
- Always maintain control of your boat.
- All skiers should wear flotation vests.
- Skiers like calm water. Please try to avoid creating unnecessary boat or jet ski wake.
- Never ski or operate a boat while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Please be courteous and respect the rights of others.
THANK YOU!
