  • When on the same tack, downwind rider has right of way. Right of way does not mean you can veer up or down wind. While passing, MAINTAIN YOUR COURSE!!
  • When you turn, look in front and behind you. You lose your right of way when turning 
  •  Kites being launched have right of way
  • While passing another kiter who is down wind of you, fly your kite high; if you are the down wind kiter, fly your kite low
  • Jumpers revoke their right of way. Look before you jump
