15/09/2004 - Self-launching is bad for your health
Quick message out to everyone who comes down - please don't self-launch your kite off long beach [particularly in a cross-shore wind as it is VERY turbulent there]. If you need to launch, grab someone that is in a wetsuit to launch you off. One of the instructors or local boys will always give you a hand, but not if you don't ask.
Just because you see people do it doesn't make it safe, especially if you are a novice - none of the TK instructors do it [for a reason] so just ask for a hand and we'll help you out.
