We want to facilitate kiteboarders and boat-users to effectively aid the safety of themselves, other kiteboarders and beach users.
Kiteboarding Australia are running a campaign in conjunction with Play It Safe By The Water to continue to promote safe water use, including kiteboarding and kiteboarding rescues around the nation.
We have spent some time in the water filming instructional safety videos advising kiteboarders on how to perform the following kinds of rescues:
- Kiteboarders rescuing other kiteboarders
- Kiteboarders rescuing beach users
- Boaters rescuing kiteboarders
We would love to hear your experience of being involved in any of the rescues outlined above, you can access our survey here.
*Please note that rescues to be submitted need to be completed in Victorian waters.
Your feedback will assist us to capture important safety information regarding kitesurfers, the general public and relevant rescue information to help ensure the safety of all beach users. This research will be used to aid with informing best practice and up-skilling kiteboarder to be able to perform rescues on people around them in a safe manner.
As an incentive for YOU we have 10x $50 Coles/Myer Vouchers and a brand new Cabrinha Kitesurf board to be WON! Each rescue entry you submit will give you an entry into the prize draw.
All responses will be anonymous and confidential, and no identifying information will be used in publications arising from the research.
Good winds and safe kiteboarding!
