The simple answer is: let the other guy have his preferred line. Next
time, he will/should return the favor. If they don't, no worries, there
are many more waves. I think that in your case, sailor A has the
'technical' right of way - as going down the line is what god intends wave
sailors to do....backside riding is just for getting back into the line up
;-)
......in the grand scheme of things, does this really matter? just have fun
and realize how lucky you are to be sailing in the sweet waves of N.

Let's say sailors A and B are at a spot like Davenport or Waddell. They
are
both sailing in toward shore on port tacks, trying to get setup on a wave.
Both sailors catch the same wave at the same time; sailor A is upwind of
sailor B by about 15 feet (1 mast length). Sailor A wants to sail down the
line but sailor B does not. Sailor B wants to sail upwind, not downwind,
pinching up on the wave, sailing "backside" on the wave.
Who has the right of way given standard wavesailing rules?
I have been sailor A on a few occasions. One time, I did a bottom turn
down
below sailor B to get downwave of him and then continue down the line.
Another time, sailor B went down low on the wave, so I, as sailor A, went
high to get around him. But on both occasions, if either one of us had
made
the wrong call, there would have been an ugly collision, followed by
tumbling gear and sailors in the whitewater.
An even more interesting scenario is either or both sailors were actually
kitesurfers ...
