That's the kind stuff that gets kiting banned we all know some riders that jump and do tricks right next to a crowded beach!

Looks like the Best kite (pink and black) may have had some blame in this. At the end of the video he crashes his kite on the beach as well. Everyone wants to throw tricks near the beach which puts everyone and access at risk.

 one could break a neck...this can be really serious
Imagine that's a 3 or 4 year old kid playing on the beach. Could actually be life threatening. :o

Exactly. And if the lines get you...big cut.
We need to avoid this situation...this can lead to immediate bans.

I remember there was a problem in the UK...where a kid on the beach got killed by a kite...

Looks like the hot shots on the blue and pink kites crossed lines. Kudos to the cool lady who didn't deserve to be on the receiving end of that mess.

First rule of kiteboarding is keep away from the general public.
They have priority.
Ignorance on the beach is called negligence in court.

No doubt that's going to help the cause of kiting access. :-?
