What gear are they allowed to use. Foil/tube kites, twin tip/directionals?

In the Youth Olympic Games and the Qualification Events, only registered series production hulls (boards) and registered series production "Leading Edge Inflatable" kites are allowed to be used.

The list of registered series production equipment which is eligible to compete can be found here:

twintipracing.com/yog/tt-r-yog-format-equipment

Please note that despite the registration and listing in above lists, competitors are responsible that the equipment is compliant (i.e. has an "IKA Registered Series Production Equipment" label attached)

For each of the above events (YOG and qualifier events), only one hull (board) and a maximum of four kites may be registered to be used during that event. The kites must be chosen in 4 size categories to cover the whole wind range from light to strong winds.
