All big Sits can be anchored out in the designated area ÔÇô but foot traffic from the sand beach is only allowed in certain places. Please adhere to the request of the owners and use caution on the shoreline, otherwise you may trailer launch and drive over to the south parking area in between your heats.
No water access is permitted from the south shore. You cannot enter the water from that side so please do NOT have your skis on a water stand next to your camp or it will have to be removed. John Eagal is working on waterside camping all along the north shore (flagdock side) but please see me when you arrive for available parking.
* No explosives, fireworks, or campfires are allowed.

There are neighbors in the distance on the south side of the property ÔÇô and we must respect their privacy.
Course ÔÇô
This course will be run in reverse direction (clockwise) Red buoys - right turns / Yellow buoys - left turns
Please race smart and go around the buoys without hitting them! Seriously? Really? I have to still ask this from you guys?
This practice course has a progression of just about every kind of turn you will see during the 3013 season. Being this is ÔÇ£practiceÔÇØ, please get into the practice of ÔÇ£learningÔÇØ the course before you ÔÇ£raceÔÇØ the course!!
At some time during the day, ALL race classes will be directed to take the walk of shame so that we are all on the same page as to how it is to be navigated during a race.
At some time during the day, all classes will be presented with a ÔÇ£red flagÔÇØ situation. Please review the new red flag procedures now listed on the www.diablojsa.com website on the news and update page.
We have 3 simple rules here ÔÇô
The mandatory 1 ski length safe zone in effect at all times, The 100 ft yield rule, And no passing, racing, or scoring in a yellow flag corner
If you are unclear as to the safety rules we run, they are all outlined at www.diablojsa.com
Knowing them in advance will keep you from being dq'd in a race, and in a point series that's not what you want to have happen! Call or email me if you are unclear about the rules.
