Hi WA Guys,

I am curious why there seems to be regular posts, from kiters in WA that loose there kites. My rational thoughts are:

1) People not wearing kite leashes
2) Beginners self taught not understanding safety, and packed down.
3) People seem to kite in cross off shore conditions in WA and not cross onshore
4) The swell is considerably larger than us on the East Coast, and people tend to get into more trouble.

Could someone enlighten me.

Maybe because in WA there are kites on the water almost every day, unlike your side. Not saying that there are more kiters, just that there are more kites on the water per unit of time.

No daylight savings.

It's hard find to your kite in the dark

We're shameless.

Stats are about the same, we just love to get on Seabreeze and tell the whole world about our stupidity/misfortune.
