The role of the second person on a vessel towing a skier is to observe the towed person.
When towing a waterskier behind a vessel, it is legal to have a dedicated observer on board the vessel in addition to the driver, who can keep an eye on the skier. The observer must be able to communicate effectively with the driver and have a clear view of the skier at all times. Additionally, the vessel must comply with any local laws regarding speed limits and designated areas for towing activities. Always ensure that the skier is wearing a proper life jacket for safety.
im not sure if it is legel or not but i recomend you dont do it cause if the skier is to fall you might run him over and kill him equaling you a 20 year imprisiment for man slaughter in other words just dont do it
