http://www.boards.co.uk/forum/forum_pos ... 17481&PN=1 Watch out for the kiddy-winkles.... ( I haven't read the whole thread but would guess it degenerates into a " kitesurfers are all t**sers" rant- which isn't the view most windsurfer have of you danglers ) P.S. Did I tell you we are off to Tiree tomorrow? D D D D D D D D D D D

Well having read about this accident on Flexi I was shocked. Not just at an unfortunate accident but the restrictions they have to adhere to. Thank God we kite in Scotland.

Restrictions for West Wittering sands below. I particularly like the RED BIB BIT

{Here are the rules for West Wittering Beach.

RESTRICTIONS

WWBC Members Only for anything that involves moving on a buggy, board or similar. This means non-members can static fly, but nothing else.

â€¢ Red bibs must be worn at all times. Each member should have got their bib when they joined and this must be worn. As the rules say, no bib, no play.

â€¢ 3 hours each side of Low Tide as stated in the official tide times for Chichester Harbour Entrance. Tide Times. Any other time, static flying only.

â€¢ In season only which is usually from 15th September to 1st May inclusive. No boarding or buggying etc in the Summer whatsoever.

â€¢ Setup area is past the toilet block on the left, after the shop area. If you're a member and have been before, you should know where this is. Only set kites up in the 2 areas between these groynes, nowhere else.

â€¢ Kite beyond the groynes always, no buggying or boarding within the groynes except when leaving or returning to the setup area.

â€¢ No overflying the public which is obviously common sense, you do this, you'll get shot.

â€¢ K or BBC numbers to be displayed on buggies or blokarts. Not necessary for boards. Any insurance number that you have should be displayed for identification purposes.

â€¢ Non-members should be approached meaning if you see someone boarding or buggying who doesn't have a red bib on, go over and tell them what the deal is.

and by far not the only beach they have restrictions on, in fact its probably fair to say there isn't a beach left in Englandshire that's not restricted in some form or other, yes we are lucky up here, long may it continue!
