Safety Rules (and Pet Peeves)

sp4cem0nkey - 25-7-2010 at 08:07 PM

Hey all,

Its been talked about recently how unfortunate it is that there are so many kiteboarders out there who either don't know or don't care about the general safety rules of kiteboarding.

I must confess, as a kiteboarding newbie, I'm still a little hazy on the rules and tips. I know a bit from watching Progression: Kiteboarding Beginner, but would love to know more.

It would be nice to see a thread dedicated to the latest safety rules, tips, and things to avoid doing if you don't want other kiteboarders or beach patrons mad at you.

There's a pic of a Dutch sign at a beach somewhere that I seem to remember covered them all ... let me see if I can find it ...

They may be self explanatory to you, but I got a headache trying to interpret those. Would you mind writing them out in plain English for us mentally challenged folks?
