Yes side side off is still off, specially at the Slufter. Don't make shit happen. Enough shit is happening at that spot already. If the shit hits the water, it is very shitty to find you floating around in that shit. You must be shitty lucky if they rescue your shit. Don't shit there anyway (that's illegal). But on topic... no kite seen. |

Your friend is an idiot. He is spoiling it for all of us.
I hope he learns from this...

Time to send those fuckers who are spoiling it for us back,... Set up a school in your own country, and sort out your issues there. As a kiteschool owner you should know better before sending your students/freinds out on the water in such conditions. sorry for your loss of equipment, but one gets what he deserves.

hi,
Side off in light wind condition in oostvoorne at low tide is still safe. You just need to respect some rules:
-stay where you can still walk.
-stay close to other riders
-know how to do a self rescue
-be ready to accept that you can loose some equipment
My friend just went downwind and downwind,...then you come downwind to him you say 1 time 2 time,...
and 3rd time, nobody will come help you.
3rd time happened.
Indeed, some people needs stronger event in order to understand thing...
The most important for me isn't the kite, but well that everybody come back home safe and not injured from the beach. If we found back the kite, yes I will be happier.
2 days ago I was teaching at the beach and I saw 2 crazy guy...
-one ine fone bandit 3 completely overpowered (like very wrong setup,..) he was doing super man,gliding the full 200m of the beach with kiteloop without thinking release the safety,..hopefully kite stay stuck, I came to him in order to ask him wtf? And this dutch guy told me that he is 2 year old experienced rider and he bought this 2ndhand kite from a friend,... (what a nice friend,..) I checked the kite and the control bar was a full bricolage,...I can imagine this guy is still alive after 2 years of kite and still not able to know how to release his own safety and understand is kite is completely wrong..
-a guy with a brand new cabrinha 12m playing on the sand close to the dune with very gusty north wind condition,...
For me these to example are way more dramatic and occurs way more often at oostvoorne and any other beaches.
ps: I wasn't at the seaside the day when my friend lost the kite.
ps2: happy to see that Kitehigh is a very active community.
Cheers,

Bad wind direction, bad tide, bad material, bad setup, bad school, bad hair day: all probably true; non of which are really relevant. The only thing relevant is kiting is an extreme sport at the best of times. Take that into consideration. Take responsibility for your life, that of others using the same beach and make sure you're prepared for the conditions you're going into. If you're a nitwit, an idiot, have suicidal tendencies or just think all of the above doesn't count for you, please post your next kiting location on this forum so we know where to avoid. Sometime's, despite a decent preparation things can go bad. Just make sure it wasn't your bad that caused it. Just my two cents worth.
