• 

Helmets are strongly recommended to avoid injury from your board or other hard objects.  

• 

We strongly recommend you wear a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) or impact vest  

while kiteboarding.

• 

Do not kitesurf, surf or foil in shallow waters or in areas with underwater obstacles.

LIMIT DANGERS TO OTHERS:

• 

Be courteous to other riders and comply with established give way rules.

• 

Stay clear of other water users. Leave sufficient space between you and swimmers, boats, 

paddle boarders and any other water user.

• 

Familiarise yourself with local marine use guidelines and obey all established rules.

• 

Respect wildlife and behave accordingly.

• 

When hydro-foiling you operate at greater speeds than normal and obstacles and  

other water users get closer exponentially faster. Be aware of this and adjust your  

actions accordingly.

• 

Note that this is a non-exhaustive list. Use common sense if other risks arise.
