Hi there,

If you're serious about the competition, you might want to check out the GENERAL GUIDELINES:

www.hyundaikiteboarding.co.nz/rules.html

See you all in Raglan,

Delphine

PS: I'm not starting a debate here, I'm just informing you of what the judges and the organizing committee have decided.

Are you sure we can't debate I mean I've found one big inconsistent thing already, wouldn't you like to get it out of the way now instead of at the event? :wink:

From the guidelines:

- Originality is good. (Moves that other people aren't doing).

I got heaps of moves other people aren't doing....do they have to be on purpose?

That page doesn't mention the no whinging rule.. has that been dropped now?

It still does, Right next to the sponsors logo, Rule#1 !


Maybe a few precisions to the Rule about Suicide Leash, I guess:

A suicide leash is denomination for a leash attached to the Chicken loop on a standard kite. When the kite is leashed this way, a classic kite keeps power when released and is therefore dangerous, therefore forbidden on this event.

Suicide leash is not suicidal anymore on the kind of flat/bow/whatever-you-call-it kites, since when leashed this way and released, the kite will loose power and fall from the sky without pull.

A leash attached to a 5th line is not in the suicide leash category because it will depower the kite.

I always ride on suicide - direct to the chicken loop... Looks like I'm out for a duck.

Kiteboarding is dangerous, no matter what leash attachment you have.

Forums I believe are specifically used for debate / information sharing.

Uh oh! Borderline whinging; cause for disqualification
