I will respect the rights of all users of the recreational waterways, both on public waters and on adjacent private property.

I will be considerate at the launch ramps and docks. I will get on and off the ramps briskly and not delay others.

I will follow the navigation rules of the road around all other vessels.

I will give all anchored or drifting vessels plenty of room.

I will always operate at headway speed in "5 KNOT " zones.

When approaching the shore, I will be especially aware of swimmers and other craft near the shore.

I will not disturb wildlife. I will avoid areas posted for the protection of wildlife.

I will not litter the shore side and I will be careful with my fuel.

I realize that my travel speed should be determined by my equipment, ability, weather and wave conditions, and especially other vessel traffic.

I will not interfere with or harass others. I realize that people judge personal watercraft by my actions.

I will pay close attention to the noise my vessel may make and be aware of how others on boats and on shore react to that noise.

Through the IPWA, I will strive for cooperation with other personal watercraft clubs and organizations.

Club activities should be conducted according to the spirit of the Code of Ethics both within the personal watercraft community and the community at large.
