Rick Iossi,
you're doing a bloody brilliant job in creating awareness, educating and instructing kitesurfers on safe and responsible kiting. Well done! Keep it up.
Have you noticed how few (dare I say NONE) of the leading kite manufacturers show any interest, any responsibility, any effort to promote safe and responsible kitesurfing, at least through their websites?
I have written to one, Liquid Force, but I'm a lone voice. You represent an association of (possibly) a thousand or more 'voices'. Can you and I start a campaign to have all the leading kite manufacturers to have a KITESAFE button on their websites? with the specific recommendations about kiting safer and more responsibly?
What do you think - is it worth a try?
Simon
