Luego de una domingo espectacular en palomino con algunos incidentes me recuerdo que .
1- Es super riesgoso y en especial con Foil kites el navegar solo.
2- Las tablas y los Kites tienen que tener nombre y # de telefono ( en 2 lugares ( visible y no visible )
3- Tener un backup plan en caso de que la cosa se tranque ( se cae el viento o 20 mil cosas que pueden pasar) alguien tiene que saber tu kitesurf plan en tierra y tener manera de llegar a ti .
4- Cuando usas un Foil kite y cae al agua tienes tu tiempo contado pero dejar la tabla es peligroso y costoso . Facilmente te encuentras nadando con el kite cogiendo agua y tu sin ninguna flotacion y perdiendo la tabla , (es mas facli de lo que uno se cree )

Saludos. Kiko

Kiko,

How about the time that I picked you up 3 miles off-shore as the sun was going down after the wind died.  At least you had a kite to float on, a foil kite could have been deadly in that situation.  Always have a back up plan and let others know where you are going.  It's a good idea to have a very good water case for a phone or a 2 way radio.

I bought a several Nautilus Lifeline Marine Radios when we opened in Dorado.  I think one of these would be good equipment to have with you when foiling long distances or off shore.  Essentially it is a waterproof marine radio that is enclosed in a waterproof case.  Wen the case is closed it is rated to a depth of 425 feet.  It also have the ability to send an emergency alert to the cost guard and provides your GPS location.

I have a couple I would be willing to sell to anyone interested for $150.

Goodwinds,

Phil
