A teuro was lucky today after being lofted and spun around 10 metres from the beach, ending up backwards and then sending the kite into a downloop over the road, luckily hitting a tree ( the kite ) before the power kicked in.

If your a beginner be very cautious when you are near the beach ! and walk out or aleast keep your kite out to sea when it's put up....

If you get disorientated ( spun ) next to a road and trees etc, the worst thing you can do it try to keep flying the kite, as happened here the loop is what caused all the danger. Far better to just give in , engage your safety as soon as you are being spun and apologize to the people your kite will hit when it lands on it's safety line, OR just let go of the bar and let it crash depowered is another good option
