Awareness is your best friend! Pay attention to your surroundings, and look out for kite lines, people launching, kiters landing, weather changes, etc.
We all like to be caught when coming in, so always be willing to catch anyone that needs it. Let the kiter know you're going to catch him by responding to his "head in" sign, and be sure to put sand on the kite before leaving it!
We all need a launch! Always be willing and ready to launch anyone that needs it, and pay full attention to the launching process, making sure you're in communication with the kiter at all times
When coming in to the beach, let potential kite catchers know your intention by giving them the "head-in" sign. This is done by tapping the top of your head with your palm.
You're depending on your kiting equipment to get you through every situation safely and efficiently. Make sure your gear is up to snuff before heading out!
Fun is what it's all about! Treat everyone like you'd like to be treated, smile a lot, and have a blast!
In the final analysis, YOU are responsible for your safety and welfare - LEARN TO SELF-RESCUE!
Don't hang out on land with your kite flying - it may be safe elsewhere but not here on Maui! As soon as your kite is up, TAKE IT TO THE WATER!
Kiting can be dangerous - make sure that you're following good common sense to keep your self and others safe, on the beach and in the water.
