Just checked it out.... Looks like a good site to point people to.

Particularly liked the photo under the heading "Know the Sport".... Gold

VVVV
Tip #1 KNOW THE BASICS OF KITEBOARDING
# All kiters are required to wear a PFD 1, 2 or 3 which complies with the relevant standard. Approved inherently buoyant wetsuits ar acceptable as an alternative to a PFD 3.


Since When??

BTW, there is a typo in this paragraph on the website...

I agree great site, would be nice to have some of the info on the KBV site.

Victorian Marine Safety regs 2009. You have to wear an approved PFD or a wetsuit of at least 3mm you are more than 400m off the beach.

I think its alright ..... I like the fact that it looks like the guy is about 200m from the water and about to be dragged up over the rocks and across the road..
The page is about safety and thats what can happen if you dont concentrate....... i like the context....
