Just remember most states require a spotter and that the people on the tube count again the passenger limit for the ski. So driver, spotter, and tuber would be the limit for a three person ski. My state doesn't require a spotter if the ski has mirrors so I get two tubers. And yes I have gotten a ticket for having a driver and three tubers even though it was a three person tube.

But it also states “Capacity: The jet ski must be designed to seat at least three people—the driver, the observer, and the person being towed.
Observer (Spotter): A competent observer must be on board to watch the person on the tube, unless the PWC is equipped with factory-installed rearview mirrors that are at least 4 inches wide/high.
Time Restriction: Towing is only allowed between sunrise and sunset.
Life Jackets: Everyone involved—including the person on the tube—must wear a US Coast Guard-approved life jacket.
