Hi John,
Something I'd like to be done that could probably be easier to do through the CWA is a kind of hook up with the guys in the surf life saving clubs from Brighton (North & South), maybe get in touch with them, explain them a bit more what kiting is about (it's not only wearing boardies over wetties), the risks, how to safely rescue someone, etc...
The purpose of this would be to keep them aware and somehow ready for a rescue if a kiter needs to be rescued.
Obviously, when I'm talking about this, I'm thinking about going out more and more often when the wind is cross offshore , something we had quite a few days last year, and if not too shittily gusty could turn into awesome waveriding sessions.
So basically, I wouldn't mind to pay a few bucks if I know there is someone keeping a distant eye on me, and able to come rescue me if shit happens.

Don't know if this makes sense, but no harm talking about it, I guess


Cheers

You'd probably have to cough up for some night vision goggles if you want them to keep an eye on you Alex :wink:

so I see on the events calendar Wanakite is meant to be on...

Is it on? :?
Is there any snow? 8)
Is it worth the drive? :arrow:
Will we get asked to leave again? :roll:
