Waiman was fine, Torch got speared through the leading edge. Fist size hole. If you listen closely you can hear a pop as it hits the tree.

The guy has offered to pay to fix it so i have to give him credit for that.

I think they may have sped up the footage, i didn't think it happened that quickly.

Nah, they mostly go home when it's green. Those that don't end up on the news.

Hey Random,

Before you give the guy too much credit for offering to pay to fix your kite, might I remind you of the local Brighton Kitesurfing Rules (specifically Rule no. 27) that states.

"Whenever a kitesurfer causes damage to another kitesurfers gear, and the owner of the damaged gear was found to not be negligent in the incident, then the kitesurfer who caused the damage and was responsible will pay the owner of the damaged gear the full replacement value for the damaged gear, valued prior to the incident."

27(a) "After paying full replacement value for the damaged gear, the payer may elect to take ownership of the damaged gear."

27(b) "Payment for repairs alone are an unacceptable resolution, in that the condition is diminished and will reduce the resale value."

Two things
When the **** hits the fan at least hold on to the bar to have some chance of steering the kits. Putting hands out may feel good but does nothing.
After hitting the tree it's better to pull the safety than to look at where you came from and see whos looking.

methinks he should have pulled the safety long before hitting the tree!

+1 how the f did that happen, lucky boy that he still can walk, retard

whine whine whine ..i am putting the new leading edge bladder in it tonight i hate the octopus system ,,no it wasnt me on tv ,,for those to quick to reply,,,bye the way

Skoob hope you wash your hands properly after handling that Naish...

It is not like the posters on this forum to go off without any factual evidence.

Doesn't matter who he was.

Just goes to show that 25 knots + of cool, gusty SE winds in QLD are not to be taken complacently.

If your skills are not proficient, or if your gear is to big, IT IS NOT WORTH THE RISK!!

Trees do not say sorry and your kite shows no loyalty. She just wants to fly.

When in doubt, don't go out!
