How many kitesurfers can kitesurf in a space that can normally accommodate 100 windsurfers?

A kitesurfer can use lines up to 50 m in length and normally flies the kite in the forward half portion of the wind window. This means a kitesurfer would need a space up to 50 m in width and 50 m in length. As the normal “clearing” distance between two windsurfers is around 5 – 6 m. This would allow only 10 kitesurfers to kitesurf in a space that can normally accommodate 100 windsurfers. If all the kitesurfers follow the same rule and try to fly the kites at the same diagonal angle (with 15 degree margin for flying error as proposed in http://www.KitesurfingSchool.org/rules.htm) then the minimum clearing distance required is only 15 m. This would allow up to 40 kitesurfers to share the space that normally can accommodate 100 windsurfers.

A kitesurfer can use lines up to 30 m in length and normally flies the kite in the forward half portion of the wind window. This means a kitesurfer would need a space up to 30 m in width and 30 m in length. As the normal “clearing” distance between two windsurfers is around 5-6 m. This would allow only 10 kitesurfers to kitesurf in a space that can normally accommodate 100 windsurfers. If all the kitesurfers follow the same rule and try to fly the kites at the same diagonal angle then the minimum clearing distance required is only 15 m. This would allow up to 40 kitesurfers to share the space that normally can accommodate 100 windsurfers.
