STAY A MINIMUM OF 200FT. AWAY FROM THE BEACHES AND SHORE AREAS

No jumping and doing tricks close to shore - there is no room for recovery if anything goes wrong.
Everyone can see just fine and will appreciate it that you are acting safely.
If you are working your way upwind make your turn and head back out.

Please be considerate and watchful of others.
Help make this a great area and a great sport.


I was just there today, I feel like some people forgot about that rule.
But hey, nothing got wrong and those boosted back roll were beautiful to watch from the beach and I definitely learned from it. :wink:

Watched a guy back roll less than 20 feet from the sand. Looked pretty cool as he walked up the beach smirking at his admirers then stumbled into a deep hole some dog had dug and nearly ditched his kite. Ya just never know when something can go wrong no matter how mad ur skills r!

Hence the rule :)

As to showing off ur tricks of course we want people to see us....
