Yeah I usually put my kite high or low real early to make it clear what I "intend" to do...(hold starboard tack or go leeward on port) if that doesn't work I either tack back the way I came or throw a kiteloop and go down wind so fast they have absolutely no chance of hitting me

I'm mostly joking but I did have to do that escape kiteloop three times at east beach in one day ... once when Bob and I got our communications out of sync, and twice when Billy almost took me out (he was busy looking at the camera).

Honest mistakes though ... it's getting pretty crowded these days and a camera in the water is like stoking the fire.
