Typical hazards & measures
Launching errors
— Conduct launching in clear, open areas with experienced assistance. Ensure participants are trained on safe launching techniques, including the proper use of hand signals and positioning relative to the wind.
Strong winds
— Ensure participants are trained to recognize wind speeds and conditions beyond their skill level. Use anemometers to measure wind speed, and limit participation when winds exceed safe thresholds for their ability. Regularly check weather forecasts and provide wind cut-off points.
Sunburn
— Encourage the use of sun-protective clothing and high SPF sunscreen. Provide shaded rest areas and ensure participants reapply sunscreen regularly, especially on longer sessions.
Inadequate clothing
— Ensure all participants wear suitable clothing for the conditions, such as wetsuits for cold water or UV-protective gear for sunny days. Provide spare clothing for emergencies. Brief participants on the importance of proper gear.
Alcohol consumption
— Enforce a strict no-alcohol policy before and during kitesurfing sessions. Regularly remind participants of this policy and the associated dangers of alcohol consumption while engaging in water sports.
