Sure man, keep drinking your kool-aid..RickI wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2019 4:06 amKiters should stay within the distance from shore they are able to swim in from. Wearing a flotation aid, impact vest is a good idea. I can swim many miles and for most of a day but I have worn an impact vest for the last 20 years while kiting. It is a no brainer.

I was in about 20kts on 15m soul today... jumping from 100 meters offshore will almost get you landed on the beach.. now had I dumped the kite and encountered a rip current, would I be ok?
We have a spot with strong tidal current that will blow you in the atlantic ocean in 10-15minutes if you try to swim it...(look up Breezy point, NY) You can swim many miles with your vest, but what good is it if you are blown away in the ocean and a tiny dot, cause you let your kite go? They will never find ya in time... no brainer...
Why don't you show me how to use a flagged out foil kite for propulsion?Bille wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2019 10:08 am

current, your talking about , in a 40 , or even a 15 ? ----------------------- (yes)
Don't they make auto/self inflatable PFD's , that create almost NO
drag , (when not inflated) ? ----------------------------------------------- yes again !
Are they USCG-approved ? YEP !

Basically deniska, you trying to talk people into dying ; cause Ya want
to look COOL . I'm beginning to see why i got off this forum
over a year ago , and stuck to flying Hang gliders and Paragliders ; the avid
flyers , only care about survival , and looking COOL was for the Dead people.
And i'll take some whiskey, with my kool-aid please ...
