* '''The wind is your friend, and it's always on your side''' — literally. Side-onshore from the right means drifting offshore is nearly impossible. Relax.
* Mornings are calm. Don't rush to the beach at 9am with your kite — have breakfast, explore, and show up around noon like everyone else.
* '''No certification = no kite.''' It's the rule, it's enforced, and it's genuinely for good reason. Every school on the beach offers courses; just book one.
* Launch and land only in front of licensed schools, and head straight to the water once your kite is up — hovering on the beach is a hazard and not appreciated.
* Two safety release systems on your bar. Non-negotiable.
* '''There's no official rescue service.''' The school boat helps in small incidents but can't cross the reef in heavy conditions. Stay within sensible range, especially alone.
* Starboard has right-of-way. Upwind rider goes high, downwind goes low. Dark clouds on the horizon? Check the shore flags and get in.
