Right of way means you are the stand on vessel. You can not take right of way, it has to be given to you. If not given, for whatever reason, you still have to move to avoid collision. Gets much more complicated when you are dealing with people who don’t know the rules and don’t want to. But the question I have is
How often does this become a problem where you ride?
If it’s all the time and your spot isn’t that crowded, well, it might be ?
My spot all the time. Up to 55 kites in a maybe 250x300m triangle.

Yes, that sounds a bit crazy & dangerous but if you are careful it seems you can make it work quite well :thumb:

Yes, it works. As long as people respect the areas of beginners and jumpers we can all handle it !
