Kiteboarding Game

AUTO — picked from the device: a touch screen gets the bar, everything else the mouse.

Drag the arrow: it points the way the wind GOES. The sand arc is the shore.

There is no edge key: since T40 the board edges itself as it comes onto the plane, so all you hold is the CARVE UP.

How much the sea costs. The game always starts on HIGH — the full wave field and the finest surface. If the frame rate is poor, on a phone or an older machine, drop it yourself: MEDIUM, then LOW. Nothing changes it automatically.

FULL draws the big translucent power dome around the rider (and the read-only pad in BAR mode); COMPACT leaves only the wind strip.

HEAT total, best single trick and highest jump — three boards, one card.

Pick the spot on the bay you start at, and come back to after a reset. Click the water on the map; the beach camp, the patrol boat and its two ranges are marked.

Which kite and which board you ride. Paint only — nothing in here changes how the kite flies, so a heat is fair whatever you wear.
