1. Going out has right of way over someone coming in. (when coming in, you
have much more manueverability and less risk of getting munched than someone
going out, so it's polite to give way)
I do not think this is true, and recall this same discussion about a year ago.
If a sailor on a wave is going down the line, and the outbound sailor cuts off
his down the line progress, ending the wave, the outbound sailor has barneyed.
If the premise of wavesailing is to ride waves, then the surf rules apply. The
surf rule is simple; avoid the person on the wave. They have enough to deal
with already, and a person going out has more degrees of freedom than the person
on a wave whose ideal path is dictated by the wave (and the kelp in late
summer). the sailor going out can sail off the wind, pinch upwind, stall,
chicken jibe, tack and do whatever else is possible to avoid the person already
on the wave.
