Always assume that a crashed
kite will relaunch unexpectedly
Why? Because an amazing number of
people have been absolutely amazed when their kite suddenly took off despite
being tangled, inside out, partially inflated what have you.
If the kite appears hopelessly tangled
or deflated never swim toward it
Why? Because if the kite takes off
and you get tangled in the lines it could put you in a life threatening
situation
If you need to swim in:
1. depower the kite by releasing the bar
(not the leash)
2. pull yourself to the kite while
winding the uneven lines onto the bar, or climbing one line only
3. Hold the kite and self-rescue to
shore.
Why? Because if the kite has two lines
attached it can generate power. Even if it is so tangled it can't take
of with two line attached you can get tangled and it can generate power,
a very good way to get hurt
Carry a safety knife that will
cut lines but not you
How come? Because even if you are
good enough or lucky enough to never need it maybe some day you will rescue
someone else.
Outgoing kitesurfer has right of
way over incoming kitesurfer
Why? Someone has got to. (from the
wavesailing rule).
Wear as much flotation as you can
stand
Why? You will float better, and it acts
like padding.
Never sail further out than you
can swim
Assume that today will be the day
you get to swim in from the farthest point out you go
Why? Because you may have to let go of your
kite at any time.
Don't tease the sharks
Because you look like a yummy young
seal to themAlways consult your
equipment's user manual
Safety systems are many and varied. There are
specific recommendations for the use of different systems.
BE TOTALLY FAMILIAR
WITH YOUR OWN PARTICULAR SAFETY SYSTEM, AND PRACTICE USING IT IN NON-CRITICAL
SITUATIONS.
