go slow new rules?
I have been thinking about this for a while, ever since roby d mentioned it to me.
should go slow be locals only? all visitors can launch at go slow but have to stay out away from the bend? allso if you suck at tricks on your port tack should you stay away from the bend? and stay out? (I suck on my port tack so that me included) does stb right of way meen anything at go slow? what do you guys think? aj

i agree if your not gonna do a trick or a jump stay outta the flatwater bay. It really gets annoying when ppl ride in there just to turn around. Many times i have had to taklc back and forth waiting for an opening.
thats my 50 cents

What I have enjoyed the most here is that we have no rules. We can launch from basically anywhere and even ride in the harbour if we wanted to.
Why turning go-slow locals only ? that would turn some tourits away. We don't own that place so to me anyone can ride there and maybe we can learn something too. I see what you're saying Robbie, we all like to show off, someone might be able to pull a F16 off and someone else only a simple jibe, the thing is that we are all stoked the same way. So to me no rules it's better, only few safety tips for the non-locals

these rules are not written in stone more of a gentleman's agreement.

I to like that we are lawless with kiteboarding in the Bahamas. does evry1 understand right of way starboard? I think that goslow is such a rad spot and it's so small that we need to look after it. anyways it's up for debate. aj

I understand that everyone has a right to enjoy the water. But That bay is a small spot as soon as you have 3-4 ppl its crowded dont even talk about six. But aside from the trick aspect the ppl coming in to jibe are usually nervous ppl and are to tentative when in close with other kiters in the bay. Many a time have i seen newbies/intermediate riders tangle their kites with others because of indecision when in close there. Peter tangled with shuman, Steve tangled with mark. It is only a matter of time before something like that leads to injury. Thats also why i think certain ppl should stay out of the bay, becauses they panic when someone is near them, and dont know what to do, and usually those are the none jumpers/trick ppl. Do you allm agree??
