The great part about it being so shallow is the nice swells that rip across the entire length of the lake when the wind turns on. It can be 4-5' swells out in the open water of Utah Lake when its cranking near 30mph. Booties are recommended because of hidden objects in the shallows early season.

It is each riders responsibility to know these rules and to help others to understand and follow them: All kites must launch and land in the designated zone only. Kiteboarding: Safe Launch and Landing Procedures: WHEN LAUNCHING & LANDING: ALWAYS KEEP YOUR KITE LOW & GO! NEVER BRING THE KITE DIRECTLY OVERHEAD WHILE ON LAND TO AVOID LOFTING. GET OFFSHORE QUICKLY. NEVER LAUNCH OR RIDE WITHIN 200 FT. UPWIND OF BYSTANDERS OR HARD OBJECTS ...cars, rocks, fire pits, boats, atv's, land, walls, buildings, power lines, roads, etc or prominent vertical surfaces and steep slopes that may cause uplift. Depower your kite as early as possible if trouble threatens. Waiting may remove the option to do so safely. Riders have been injured and killed by ignoring this. In kiteboarding `DISTANCE IS YOUR FRIEND` and may sometimes help to forgive bad luck & errors in judgment. JUMP & RUN TO HELP A KITEBOARDER: If you see someone coming in signaling for a landing drop everything and immediately help him or her land their kite. Once landed it is the riders responsibility to quickly lay down their bar and lines and take the kite from the person assisting with the landing. If you assist with a landing, do not let go of the kite until it is completely secured or until the rider takes the kite from you. Riders need to check the security of their own kite. Do not rely on someone else to secure your kite. IF YOU SEE A RUNAWAY KITE: Quickly try to grab the kite, never touch the lines, and secure it. Do not let go of a kite until it is completely secured or until the rider takes the kite from you. ALL RIDERS NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE & WORK TOGETHER: If you see someone doing something reckless, grab your friends & go talk with them. We are all in this sport together so pitch in & be ready to help keep riders safe and to work to preserve access. Please keep a copy of these rules with you so you can share them with other riders that might not be aware of the safety procedures for our launches in Utah. Education reduces the possibility of accidents and loss of access.
