I don't think that there would be many shops that would sell a kite to a bloke without at least advising him on lessons, saftey, instructional videos, provide feedback etc. IMO, if there are shops that wont even advise, they shouldn't be able to trade...they will be contributing to an accident and probable ban as a result of the accident. Thats not to say that the shop owners are responsible for anything that happens outside the store but I would have thought they of all people would want the sport to progress in the safest possible way...thereby keeping as many locations ban free...more customers...more money!
As I have said (probaly way too many times), too many people getting into it, all crowding the same spots, and then to introduce **** gear in the hands of a beginner...you're asking for a ban! Take it off ebay...at least if interested get onto seabreeze.com.au they can get a bit of feedback from the forum riders and start in the safety possible way.
Spread the antihype!
