I have seen some people do some stupid things whist kitesurfing, but launching and teaching your girlfriend to kitesurf on Manly sea front - directly in front of the Corso when the tide is up halfway up , and there is little beach space has to be the most stupid yet. Families, children, big pine trees and busy restaurants right in front you your launch spot. Seriously stupid.

Even if she could get up on the board, surely you could have walked further down the beach where there was more beach space, and less people.
Manly is not a place to learn to kitesurf.


Please show some respect for other beach goers, and the sport. Or take up another sport where it makes sense to wear a beanie.
