Mississippi Wakesurf & Wake-Boat Rules
Mississippi has no statewide wakesurfing-specific regulation. General rules require an observer (10+) when towing on skis/surfboard, prohibit wake jumping within 100 feet of another vessel, and impose idle/no-wake speed on state fishing lakes outside designated ski areas. No wake-surf-specific distance/depth/acreage thresholds exist statewide.
