Here are some basic things to consider when sharing beaches and water accesses
with other users:
SAFETY
• Follow the instructions outlined in this manual.
• Follow the instructions and rules and regulations posted at the beaches you use.
• Check with local kiteboarding associations and shops prior to launching in a new area. There
may be local rules and regulations to follow which are not posted.
• Utilize common sense.
• Do not touch other people's gear, unless instructed to do so by the owner. Picking up their
bars, kites, etc. may disrupt a setup ritual they have.
• Always secure your kite with sand or sand bags. An unmanned kite is dangerous.
• Never leave an inflated kite unattended. Winds may shift and cause the kite to become unse-
cured and fly off.
SETTING UP
• Set up only the gear that you plan on using immediately. Deflate and put away your kites when
not in use.
• Set up in an area where you have plenty of space.
• Set up in a manner conducive to having multiple users in the area.
• Roll up your lines when not in use.
• Always keep other beach and water access users in mind when launching, landing, and
kiteboarding.
• Yield to other beach users. Be courteous and cooperative.
• Always be ready to lend assistance to other kiteboarders. The favor may be returned sooner
than you think.
