Crashed and burned twice in two days between City Beach and Scab's . . Just want to say thanks to the guys who stopped to see if I was O.K. . I think one of the guys was Paddy ? Had to do a sea rescue the second time as my leading edge bladder burst One guy stayed on the beach watching me till I made it in ,.. Wow , they saved my board for me so I didn't loose it as well ... Unreal , blokes great to know kitesurfers are still good enough to help out others .. I hope i will be able to return the favour one day ???? TOAD

Great story Toad, and there are many of them.

All the local kiters that I know are very cool people and the spirit of looking out for each other is alive and well in Perth. The Perth kiting scene is very good really. There are lots and lots of kiters who live here and mostly do the right thing.

Perhaps the title of your post could have given a hint of a positive experience.

Happy kiting and hopefully you will have your kite mares behind you for a while.

Given what I am reading about what is going down it other states, we are da gals and guys that live in the lucky country...........and WA is another country period.

Was that you with your bridle tangled around your wingtip on Thursday after the kite had rolled over?
