Kitesurfing safety lessons in essex near london and cambridge
 

Kitesurfing safety lessons in essex near londonKitesurfing, Kite boarding aka Kite land boarding, Kite buggying and Power kite flying are all extreme sports. This brings with it inherent dangers and they are sometimes overlooked or forgotten as people move forward with their selected discipline, this is always a concern to myself as I see each year more people get injured or have near misses and most are avoidable, fixable or completely unnecessary.

A friend recently had a line snap while he was kiting, luckily a few things happened which worked in his favour, he was kiting with friends and although his kit was damaged to a point he could not fly it, he would be safe. Barney sprung into action kiting over and first asking if he was OK, then he offered assistance by way of a tow in to the beach. the waters are cold still so its very important to get out of the water asap to maintainKitesurfing with a buddy dexterity and the ability to make the kite safe. Barney did get caught up whilst helping, the lines started to wrap around him, at which point he cut them loose with his safety knife, this is unfortunate to have to cut equipment but it IS the right thing to do if you find yourself in the same situation. You should ALWAYS carry at least one knife on you and not be afraid to use it if lines tangle around you. The force in the kites are something most people under estimate, and I've seen fingers and flesh pulled off and heard about much worse injuries.

When Kitesurfing you should always: Take a friend or better two, take a knife, make sure your equipment is sound for the purpose intended, if you are unsure about anything take extra precaution in the form or a buoyancy aid and helmet, make sure you know how to pack down the kite in an emergency to be rescued or rescue yourself, and know the safety releases and functions of every kite you own or ever borrow to fly.

Kitesurfing clacton
 

Kitesurfing ClactonKitesurfing clacton

Who are we - Our school founded Kitesurfing lessons in clacton, and has been Kitesurfing in clacton since 2000, We are very happy to anounce that the BKSA are bringing the first round of the national kitesurfing championships to Clacton on sea, and have joint forces with our kitesurfing school with organising and planning the event.

About the area - Clacton is a great little spot to kitesurf, it is small and does get crowded, but with that brings a community that works well together, Kitesurfing is and always will be a sport of co operation as there is no getting away from the basic dangers of harnessing the wind in such a volatile way, new technology make the kites safer, but ultimately nature is a powerful force to be reckoned with and can catch anyone out by suprise, we all need a friend on hand if this happens and so we all look our for each other.

Kitesurfing lessons - If your thinking a new hobbie is something you've been needing then kiteboarding, kite Kitesurfing clacton on seabuggying or kitesurfing should be high on the list! Its a clean, healthy, energetic and invigorating sport!

Kitesurfing history - Peter powel kites where remembered by many as a great kite which had a bit of tug, infact the Flexifoil 6ft stacker was the first powerkite to be made in 1972, many years down the line as power kiting progressed the sport started to transform into new sports, spurring off, first was kite buggying and kite boarding, later kitesurfing and since then, snow kiting too. Kitesurfing has been the main catalyst for pushing the sport mainstream and increasing the technology that goes into making the kites.

Kitesurfing future - The level of technology in the kites can only go so far, I hope we will continue to see improvement in stability, speed, precision and safety in our kites, but ultimately it comes down to money, how the sport as a whole is pushed forward, you can help by introducing a friend to this amazing sport, come and try kite sports with us, we've been hooked for 16yrs, we're sure you'll love it too.Kitemare tangle

With our help you can avoid this kitemare scenario!
