Self Rescue

Self Rescue

This is something every kiter should know how to do. While you are learning with us you will be safe and supervised, but there is a time when you will have to ride on your ow right? We teach you to ride on a safe way, but we always have to be prepared for the unexpected, what if your gear breaks? or if the wind dyes and you are far from the shore?

Well, you can learn how to execute a self rescue on this video:

We recommend it on the following scenarios:

-The leading edge has had a puncture and is completelty deflated

-OR, the wind has turned off-shore

-OR , the Wind has completely stopped

 

Costa kite instructors will teach you how to do it with real gear on the beach!!

 

 

Kiteboarding: Rights of way

Kiteboarding:Rights of way

Once a students become independent, by this we mean that he is riding with no supervision, it is essential to know the rights of way. This is often unknown by many kiters on the beach, but is very important to keep harmony and avoid incidents.

These are the main rights of way rules:

  • Always respect beginners and students on lessons, keep security distance.
  • In case you meet on the same way:
    • Upwind kiter -> kite high
    • Downwind kiter ->kite low

Check this video out for a more graphical explanation of the rights of way:
