You can never mitigate all risks, other than never kiteboarding at all it is impossible. Even at east beach there will always be someone jogging down and around the loop that could at any minute be in harms way. I feel like there is way more risk in driving to the beach to kiteboard than the actual sport and way more likely that you could get sued. At the end of the day the question to ask is, was a reasonable effort made to operate your kite/contest/event in a safe manner. I'm pretty sure people around the state/country/world will still be holding events despite some of these threads. Thankfully the event organizers listened and updated the rules to reflect the concern about riding inside of all bouys.
