🌊In kitesurfing there are rules that each rider must respect for the safety of all on the spot :

#1: The rider entering the water from the beach has right of way over the incoming rider

#2: Starboard rider (kite on the right-hand side) has priority over the oncoming rider and should keep his course, speed and heading to allow the other rider to avoid him

#3: When two riders are traveling in the same direction, the faster rider must give way to the slower rider in front

#4: The rider surfing a wave has priority over the one who is jumping or going in the opposite direction

#5: Right of way must be given to other ocean and beach users. Kiteboarder must travel downwind of them

#6: To jump, a kiteboarder must have a clear safety zone of 50m downwind and 30m upwind

#7: When two kiteboarder are on land at the same time, one kiter is preparing to enter in the water and the other one is ready to land, both proceed and keep clear from each other

🤙🏻Golden Rule: If you are passing upwind, keep your kite HIGH and if you are passing downwind, keep your kite LOW
