On a similar note,
I think all the guys setting up and kiting up near the wall south of summer salt resteruant on a southerly are playing with fire. It is to easy to drop a kite and get dragged through the flags. Most of the guys sailing there are going through the flags on there tack out maybe 100 m off shore.
Way cool brad told a guy from a shop off recently for this after he lost his board and dragged into the beach through the flags even though there was no one swimming.
We need to keep the lifeguards on side
Ps I think this is where the incident happened. Every one that I kited with yesterday north of Wanda surf club stayed well away from the flags
I think the clubbies much prefer if you launch down wind (wanda in a southerly).
they are more then happy if you kite upwind and then head back, making sure you stay well clear of the flags.
I did notice a beginner trying to fly his kite and use a twintip in a NE this week, i was surfing so it kind of shows the wind wasn't enough.
I was about to head in and say hi but he got the ****s and bailed.
Happy long weekend crew
