Lots of accidents out there, too many. It seems that a lot of them could have been avoided if a bit more care had been used. We love this sport and our ability to pursue it. Lets work to protect our ability to ride and while we are at it, ourselves and others.
The following cover letter has been prepared to go out to shops, schools, clubs, associations and individual riders everywhere. The letter is designed to build a case supporting the "Ten Points For Kiteboarding." It would be great to get everyone's input on these two documents, finalize them and then send them out as widely as possible. It sould be possible, I think, to put both the cover letter and "Ten Points" on to a single sheet of paper.
If you own a shop or school, consider printing them out and passing them along to your customers. Riders could do the same to their friends. We are all in this great sport together and we will benefit or lose out as our actions dictate. I say, lets work to keep down avoidable accidents and keep our access to ride.
Some riders are already translating the Ten Points document. It would be a great thing if other riders could also translate these documents to help spread the word. Perhaps we could ask Toby to upload the translated versions to the B2B section of the site. To avoid repetition it would be good to know what translations are underway.
