Interesting article about a kitesurfer in NZ www.stuff.co.nz/nelson-mail/news/6474744/Kitesurfer-swam-to-island-after-fall
Sounds like she new the risks and rescued herself successfully. Story reeks of a hidden agenda for PFD's.
cool where do i get some of them flares , imagine a double
kiteloop with a couple of stabber brand flares exausting out the
back.
may require a Bat Stabber utility belt to carry flares,hook knife,
sunscreen,deodorant,coffee m/c,and tissue pouch(for WA )
Are they serious ???
next thing will be an RBT on the beach 
Were am I going to store my flare I will have to get rid of my sock.
and if it ignites I wont need rescue I should be able to run back to the beach.
