the old fart decided to just see? what he was checking is be on me and grabbed the bar with out having the safety connected and unhooked. the kite was a foil. the wind launched the kite and when one of the lines got court in a bush. leaving him to panic when he was over powered by the kite and let go of the bar. then sending it my way.

still not repaired yet

that place IS an accident waiting to happen.please explain why you guys even kite there....i just dont get it.launching kites towards the water should always happen where ever you are.are we talking lucky bay am i correct...i went there when i was learning,i saw that that much dangerous stuff go on.gusty horrible crap if you ask me.

No offence - But if it were really as bad as you say it is, given that it has been one of the busiest beaches for kites in WA for the last 8 to 10 years, why hasn't there been any serious accidents there?

when there has elsewhere off wa beaches ?
