Re: Cape Town Basic Rules

Hmmm, this is involving into some, IMO, wrong assumptions now. I could be wrong, but my take on this is: No, it is not about wind density, typically really warm 25-40 degree celcius air in CT. Current not an issue, and if, it goes downwind often so thats not it. Water conditions, naaah, doesnt matt...

Re: Cape Town Basic Rules

Re: Cape Town Basic Rules

Injury, gear problems, medical issue, just make sure you give the person leaving the beach right of way or the testosterone levels might cause someone to implode?

Re: Kiter death in Cape Town

Hi This is terribly sad and such a loss. But there are learnings for us who are left behind. I spoke at length to someone who was on the scene and witnessed the accident. Long and short. The person put much too big a kite up for the conditions. And everything went wrong from there. If you are a visi...
