We say this during every rental walkthrough that has a tube:
🚩 Ski flag UP = someone is IN the water.
🚩 Ski flag DOWN = everyone is back ON the tube or in the boat.
At Lake of the Ozarks, things can get busy fast, and other boaters need to know when someone is in the water near your boat. Whether you’re tubing, swimming, floating, or picking someone back up, that flag helps everyone around you stay aware and safe.
Use the flag ONLY when someone is actually in the water.
Put it down when they’re back on board. And pay attention to the boats around you!🛟🚤
🟧 Skier-Down Flags 🟧
This flag is to be displayed when the person is IN the water before or after being towed on water skis or similar devices.
