Am I reading that right? Jet skis don't need it but a kiter and poley do?

and a bucket for bailing too.

I always take a few buckets before kiting ;)

it was the question about whether or not kiters; windsurfers & SUP's should carry a "fire extinguisher" that got me.

DoT has done some reasonable, albeit contentious work regarding PFD's & on water safety with Surf Life Saving WA & WAKSA over recent years.

The authors of that survey showed their ignorance & contempt for kiters, poleys & SUP crew by asking some remarkably stupid & arrogant questions. DoT & the authors got responses from me pointing that out. What might have been a productive process certainly has IMO, to a degree, shot itself in the foot.

I think just the windsufers should carry flare, bucket, PFD, fire extinguisher, anchor and oars as they have to go to the horizon and back to get back upwind to the take off spot,
and they have plenty of room on their boats to carry it all.
They like to call themselves real sailors , so they should comply to the sailing rules. No??

I think you take everything waaaaaaaaay too seriously old timer, chill out a bit, laugh for once, stop ya whining and let your grumpiness go.

Surely a misprint? Having said that KA had to argue to have new PFD laws that were a major risk for kiters reversed here in NSW last year. Get in early and make sure the regulators understand the practicalities before they legislate.
