hey man come down and kite with us againe there is not sh@#y weed down were we kite and did you get a new car

Hi all, as we all know the water is for everyone .
Please try to use sailing right of way rules.
1. The vessel, craft, kite surfer, on starboard (going to your right) tack has right of way over those approaching on the opposite tack (port).
2. Avoid collision
So on the offshore side of woodies on a SW , the incoming rider has the right of way.
You loose your right of way when you leave the water in a jump so make sure you allow enough down wind space to land , recover and sail away. Take a good look and factor in the path of other riders.
If you don’t land your move and you have riders following or approaching , please try to refrain from parking your kite 12 o’clock, where possible. This will reduce the ripple effect created when approaching kites alter their course to avoid YOU.
Keep it fun , try to get a line up going. Let everyone flow through the sweet spot.
Well not everyone.
This is the advice I give to our crew.
Don’t even bother to kite the offshore side of Woodies , unless you first tack up and around the point from the first south facing beach and are competent in self rescue.
This will require at least 6 solid up wind tacks to make it around staying well clear of the wall.

If you can see more than a dozen kites (I’ve seen upwards of thirty) there from the car park it might not be worth it if you are hoping to impersonate Ruben Len10, the sweet spot is quite small, smaller if crew are standing around with their kite up at 12 on the waters edge.

Look out for each other
Choicey

Choicey is spot on.

The main consideration when riding on the offshore side (on top of what choicey has already said), is to try and make room for others to do tricks etc. This means not turning around right downwind of them, cutting them off. Also once you watch people ride you will understand when and where they are going to do a trick, so just out of courtesy try and keep out of their way best possible. It's the same rules for all riders, keep the others in mind and if your not going to go for something then make sure your not really taking up all the room.

The most occuring problem is when a rider does a long upwind tack out to sea and is coming in to do a trick and someone will turn just in front of him or directly downwind. If you tack in front of someone make sure that either you leave enough room to hit the beach and return out to sea out of the way or hit the beach and leave your kite over the sand and out of the way and let the rider do his trick or what ever.

Sounds like goobly gook but thats how it works, if you don't understand ask.

Melville Sat::::Who is the school that is teaching just upwind of the first bouy?
Please PM me, dont name and shame if it in fact was a school.
Kiting was almost banned there last year and steps were undertaken and assurances were made to keep this location open.
I couldnt see a van/vehicle, but on a busy weekend one guy was instructing using a blue airush?? (I think) training kite on the sand so no one could get around him and his mate was upwind teaching (not for long as student crashed their way through). If beginners/instructors teach/learn downwind of the experienced riders no problem.
