Crossing a Wake
When attempting to cross a Wake , you should reduce your speed and alter your course to cross the wake at a 45° angle. Be aware of traffic that may be in your path as you cross to the other side of the wake. Once you have crossed the wake, resume your speed and course.
PWC operators should cross the wake at a 90° angle. Doing so will help maintain lateral stability. You should never attempt to jump a wake.
