HUGE effort there Sean. Must be an awesome feeling to have someone out there who is only out there because of your actions. You may humbly claim to simply have been "in the right place at the right time" but Im sure every kiter everywhere; and lots of others; applaud your actions.

There has been, over the years, more than just a few similar stories where kiters have 'saved the day' where no-one else could have. It is one of the very important issues on the AKSA 'to do' list to have these stories written up in detail and published on the AKSA and state KSA websites. A drop down headed "HERO STORIES" where
everyone could read this incredibly positive side to our sport would go a long way in upping our PR and would be a great link to include in submissions attempting to maintain beach access.
Sean - if you or someone close could get your story documented, maybe with some pics etc, and submit it to KBV - your Victorian arm of AKSA - then it may just be impetus enough for all states (ie AKSA) to get this one job off the drawing board and into action all round the country.
There will be discussion of an official AKSA response to this incident at Tuesday nights scheduled phone conference of the board.
