Here are just a few of the many tips to keep in mind: Plan Smart: Before you ride, make sure to check local laws, be prepared for the weather, and download a marine app like BRP GO! to find safe places to discover. Follow the rules of the water and slow down in restricted speed areas. Heads Up: Always stop before checking your phone or GPS. Keep it sealed in a dry compartment while underway. Don't mix recreation with drugs and alcohol and be aware of fatigue. Protect the Playground: Clean, drain and dry your watercraft after every ride to stop invasive species. Stay away from protected zones such as coral reefs, and be mindful of not disturbing marine ecosystems. Bring a mesh bag for trash and leave every place better than you found it! Ride Safe: Always wear neoprene shorts under your personal floating device (PFD) to stay protected on the water. Make sure your gear is properly sized and that your PFD is PWC specific and Coast Guard-approved. Attach the emergency engine cut-off lanyard to your PFD. Respect Fellow Riders: Keep a safe distance from other boats and PWCs, and yield to non-motorized watercraft. Pay attention to noise levels in residential areas.
