D. Communication:

1. It is the sole responsibility of the rider to communicate to the driver before leaving the dock which direction to turn for the double up, where to proceed through the course, and to verify the proper speed of the boat. Riders must also communicate any specifics of the double up wanted (i.e. open0 or closed.) There will be NO re-rides due to miscommunication.

2. Riders may change the direction of, or wave off the double up by clearly signaling to and receiving confirmation from the boat before the end of the pass.


E. Falls:

1. A rider can have an unlimited number of falls during a run. Should a fall occur, the driver will pick up the rider as quickly as possible. The time taken to pick up a rider after a fall is included in the rider’s time. The boat will return immediately to the dock after the maximum number of falls has been reached, or after a fall that occurs within 30 seconds of time elapsing.


XIII. Double up:

A. Overview:

1. Riders will perform double up tricks, where the boat will provide two double ups within a set course. Within this boat pattern, riders will be given one double up in each direction.
2. Contestants may perform any tricks they choose in any order they wish. Riders will be judged on:
a) 50% size- how much air a rider gets.
b) 50% Difficulty / Execution- how technical the move was and was it performed clearly. (I.E Butcheck Grab etc.)


B. The Course:

The course must provide a consistent pattern of double ups for all riders. Turn buoys or easily identifiable landmarks should be used to ensure the same pattern is used for all competitors.

C. The Run:

1. The rider will leave the starting dock and immediately prepare for the first double up. The second double up, given in the opposite direction to the first will immediately follow.

2. The rider will continue to the second double up after a fall on the first. The driver will pick up the rider from the place they fell and follow the second double up pattern as soon as possible. A fall on the second double up will complete the run.

D. Communication:

1. It is the sole responsibility of the rider to communicate to the driver before leaving the dock any specifics of the double up wanted (i.e. open or closed.) There will be NO re-rides due to miscommunication.

2. The rider may wave off the double up and not attempt a trick if unsatisfied with the set up. If a trick is attempted, the rider has accepted that as their double up. If a rider waves off the first double up and doesn't attempt anything, the boat will continue to the next double up before returning to complete the first. If a rider waves off the second double up and doesn't attempt anything, the boat will repeat the double up as soon as possible. There will be no re-ride for turbulent water created by this action.
