Arizona wake-sport rules
Arizona has no statewide wakesurfing-specific law. Boating is governed by Title 5 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and Game & Fish Commission rules; general rules prohibit towing watersports between sunset and sunrise and require an observer or mirror. Wake-surf restrictions, where they exist, are set lake-by-lake (e.g., flat-wake-only waters), not statewide.
