I got the definitive answer to the question about the CO stickers, a lot of you got with your registration. Straight from the California Boating Law Administrator.
A California dealer who sells a boat in California has to affix the sticker(s) to the stern and to an area around the helm. (Steering wheel for you land-lubbers)
A current boat owner is under no legal obligation to affix the decals, nor is a buyer of a used boat who gets the decals with their registration required to put them on.
There is no "in-the-field" enforcement authority tied to the decals or lack thereof. California Officers will not be using the lack of a sticker to stop boats, nor will they be issuing citations.
Authorities will, however, be actively looking for, citing and/or arresting people who are "Teak Dragging" or are otherwise engaging in boating activities where a person is being towed in close proximity to the stern of a running vessel.
The purpose of the decals is to raise awareness of the CO problem, and the potential for serious injury or death from Carbon Monoxide inhalation. Their use and display is voluntary and ENCOURAGED.

i don't get "teak surfing".
Basically the idea is to hang on to the swim step and breath as much CO as you can.

Apparently people are / where hanging onto the swim steps of wakeboard boats and jet boats and getting dragged through the water.. Why? To cool off, or maybe it sounded like a good idea at the time.
I guess nobody realized, that the exhaust of the boat comes out right there, and people inhale CO pass out and sink to the bottom..
CO is colorless and odorless so the theory is they didn't see it coming.
In REALITY though, boat exhaust is made up of alot more then Carbon monoxide. So it is not odorless to say the least. How these people could not know they were sucking fumes is beyond me.

You would think the fact that there is a prop spinning back there would be enough to keep people inside the boat while running????
Stupid people.
