...thinking it was a good idea moving to NewZealand after 5 years in Geraldton, and hearing the stoke from your mates after the first seabreezes come in...SHIZER
watching my quad bike hooked up to my kite for safety get picked up rolled and slammed down onto the beach by a freak gust of wind breaking bits of it off everywhere
Guys frothing at the seabreeze, getting gear out furiously, pumping up madly, everything ready, wetsuit on almost and bang, leading edge explosion......

you serious?
Unfortunatly yes! I thought it was a good idea at the time to use it as a beach anchor, But a freak gust spun the kite through the power zone moved the bike sideways then picked it up and slammed it down. the only saving grace is when the bike rolled it caught and rolled up the lines a little. Goes to show the power generated by a kite, it caught me completely by surprise, Back to my normal beach launching technique. Ps there was no one else on the beach so there was no risk of injury
