Thanks
I will be a first timer for this event.
1 helpful answer so helps the Seabreeze statistics.
Is there a link or contact for confirmation as I can not find anything?
Also wondering about insurance for kiting at the event?

Kiteboard Australia worked really hard to get the laws reversed for us. As far as mambo goes. You need atleast event insurance m pretty sure. KA or your state equivalent can supply that

Definitely no life jacket required unless kite more and 400M offshore and alone. KA lobbied NSW Maritime to roll back the law to what it was prior to the last review of lifejacket laws for NSW a few months ago.
