I nearly hit one !

I'm wondering if responsibility has been shifted back to the OP regarding this matter..

Seems like he or she has little spacial awareness and right of way rule knowledge.

Ps monkeys and test tubes don't go hand in hand with butts.. However I did nearly spit my half soy baby-chino just now reading Stevo's above post.

I do love an intelligent robust conversation. It seems Stevo 78 has some way to go in developing sufficient emotional intellignece before he can participate.

The are 3 sets of rules here to consider.

Firstly and most importantly - avoid a colision. It doesn't matter if you are in the right or wrong, its every water crafts primary responsibility to avoid a collision.

Secondly if there are breaking waves then normal wave riding rules apply, if on the same wave then the rider who is got on the wave first or is closer to the breaking portion of the wave if both riders are attempting to catch the wave at the same time, then has the right of way. Outgoing riders give way to incoming riders.

Thirdly, if there are no breaking waves, then normal rules apply, i.e:
- rider on port tack gives way to rider on starboard tack
- rider behind gives way to the rider in front
- rider to windward gives way to the rider to leeward

come on let's have some anger over something long gone n done
maybe someone else can get banned on this forum once in a while
over something nonsensical

Jupiter,
One last qustion, who caught the wave first?

I take it its not a metro wave that your talking about Jupiter?

flack the rules
where is the anger ?

we all know the rules of the road
well, some seem to have forgotten
in a rush hour situation
how many gestures and horns are there

it is NOT about rules, but tolerance
if u r religious - apply some of the good rules there
if u r not religious , but care about your neighbour - apply that
we have been counting the years for over 2000 years and yet 2 people cannot share a wave
both doing what they love the most ?
SAD state of affairs

Ignore him, he was a kook, a decent kiter would of jumped over you, maybe he fell asleep as you made your way upwind,

regarding some stuff on page 1, i reckon that once you're airbourne, you forfeit any "right of way" you had. If you're gonna do jumps on a windsurfer or kite, it's up to you to make sure you're not going to land on someone
