Is this the offending event?
You know that is very tactically edited. I was there in the car park. Post the whole footage and you will see the kite flying within metres of pedestrians in the car park. Wheelchair included. I could post photos from that angle, but I won't I know what the media could do with them.
The problem was... school holidays on a Saturday, and staying so close to shore with wind less than 10kn. There is no room for gear failure or error, let alone the wind dropping out. The beach is wide open to the west if he tacked that way instead, or just get off the shore a bit more to get the separation. To post that footage and think it can somehow be justified; shows ignorance of the sport. Let alone the long hours the NSWKBA and many of us have been lobbying behind the scenes to keep the area open to kiting. We really are trying to do the right thing by all. Please help us and work co-operatively. Sorry to rant and sound like safety police.
