GPS validation markers are unique visible marks placed at a
number of public boat ramps and jetties where mariners and

With the onset of the sea breeze windsurfers and kitesurfers
congregate at many popular locations. In certain conditions
these small, fast moving sailing vessels may be difficult to see
and skippers need to maintain a proper lookout at all times
and take appropriate action to avoid collisions.
All windsurfers and kitesurfers have a duty of care to ensure

their activities are conducted with regard to the prevailing
conditions and circumstances and take appropriate action to
avoid collisions.
