I agree. I have seen some of the fully decked out wakesurfing boats that do have "spot lights" out the back to light up the surfer. Like most "normal ski boats" I haven't seen one without a mirror. I have never seen anyone in NH or MA not have a spotter. It's just for those people that are looking for the loop holes.
Its kind of like the "no distraction" law for cars. Then they had to specifically put hands free cell phone law.
I do know that there are some states that actually don't need a spotter just as long as there is a mirror on the boat. Personally I don't want to be behind the boat and have someone watching me and where they are going at the same time. But that's just me.
Surfs Up!!!!
