KITEBOARDING ROAD RULES - 2006/06/25 20:53KITEBOARDING ROAD RULES Avoid collisions at all costs. The upwind kiteboarder gives way to the downwind kiteboarder. The kiteboarder on port tack gives way to the kiteboarder on starboard tack. When crossing close to another kiter, the upwind kiter keeps his kite high, and the downwind kiter keeps his kite low. Do not jump when you are upwind of another kiter. Look in all directions (including up) before you jump. Kiteboarding in waves The incoming Kiteboarder gives way to the outgoing kiteboarder. The first kiteboarder to catch a wave, has the wave. (Where two kiteboarders catch the wave at the same time), the kiteboarder closest to the peak has the wave. (and when there is no distinct peak), the upwind kiteboarder has the wave.
