HELPFULL POINTERS WHEN SURF-RIDING

• Joy riding your VEHICLES/ATV'S on the beach and riding up ESTUARIES / NATURE RESERVES will result in the banning of wave-riding in Natal. Please think of other riders before doing this!

• When refuelling, please avoid spilling fuel into the water, as this affects marine life.

• Compulsory Safety Features:
• 15m tow rope
• Signalling mirror
• Pencil-flare kit
• Sea anchor / Drogue
• Orange sheet
• Water / Cooldrink

• Never ride without a LIFEVEST!

• When launching into the surf, always push from the rear handles so that the nose of the ski breaks through the waves.

• Only start your ski when the engine is deep enough in the water, to avoid blocking your cooling lines.

• If your engine stops in the surf, hang on the rear handles and surf your ski in, or get another rider to tow you in. Leaving your ski in the surf will result in damage.

• The rider on the wave always have right of way. Avoid dropping in on other wave riders!

• To avoid rebuilding your impeller every weekend, clean out youur pump in the water before firing up and don't start your engine after beaching.

• To avoid injury to yourself:
• Don't ride the shore break
• Always look out for other wave-riders
• Always lean back when beaching
• If possible, wear a helmet and sunblock

• To avoid injury to others:
• Don't jump the back of waves returning to the beach
• Always look out for people on the beach before beaching
• Always lookout for other wave-riders

Many people would like to see wave-riding banned. If we keep the above-mentioned in mind, then wave-tiding at Laguna or anywhere alse will be safe and trouble free. If you see reckless wave-riders, please feel free to mention how we do things, after all it's your beach too!
