It's not a safety guarantee but most folks will slow down when you waive something other than your hand.
Good luck!

We were always taught to get the ski off as quick as we could and hold it up out of the water - so we were more visible to boaters and that would in turn HOPEFULLY cause them to slow down if they were near.
Do folks still do this? WE DO!

But I rarely see others holding up their ski!
IN VT my cousins have the red flag in their boat and when someone goes down the flag goes up! Its not a bad idea - but in NH it would confuse folks - who at least on Winni - appear easily confused more often than not!
