Operating a vessel towing a person or persons on water skis, or an aquaplane or similar device unless there is in the vessel a person, in addition to the operator who is at least 12 years of age and is observing and is capable of communicating to the operator the progress of the person being towed or unless the vessel is equipped with a wide- angle mirror with a viewing surface of at least 500 sq. centimeters (78 square inches) and a field of vision of at least a 170 degrees.

Taken straight from the rule book, boat or PWC.
I don't think I've seen mirrors on any PWC that meet these requirements. I've been told Alabama pwc towing rules state there must be a watcher.
