Seen worse at Leighton but with more people on the beach.
Kinda feel sorry for the bondi rescue dude.
And the moral of the story.......
Kitesurfing can make you look like a twat!
but surfing can break your neck!
Did anyone notice that they changed the advertisment for the episode????
A few days ago the voice over was something like "Its the latest craze to hit Bondi Beach"
Last night before the show started the ad was totally different, saying something about Kitesurfing. Guess they must have been told off as the first line would probably encourage more people to go kiting on Bondi Beach.....
Well it certainly wasnt as bad as I thought it would be, I dont think KS has been damaged in anyway. the three possible spinal injuries might have brought this into perspective. Definately pretty embarressing for Grant.
It shouldnt have taken a lifeguard to tell him it was unsafe to kite because there were lots of people swimming , so I still feel he got what he deserved.
Hopefully we can all learn from this.
Yep that footage sucked big time. I were so dissapointed. I saw more on the shorts than they aired on the show.
Plus I've seen worse at home here with a noob and a seawall, he got scraped ontop of the seawall but was ok. just bruising and scratches but he wasnt familiar with his quick release (the noob).
Did you see his kite get raped on those poles! I'd hate to see the repair bill. Maybe he can do a warranty dodge and say he just dumped the kite into the water.
Oh well, at least this thread was the best value i've read for a while!
Bondi rescue???? What a crock of ****e!!!!
3x collars and 3x ambulance for blokes with a stiff neck. Where did these budgy smuggling ****ers get their paramedic training? Cambodia?? Who bankrolls these clowns?? I hope not my tax dollars.
Can't believe I wasted my time tuning into that drivel....
Booo... I want my money back.
I thought the problems were obvious:
- Not enough downhaul/outhaul. Had it bagged waaaay out.
- Boom was set ridiculously high.
- Harness lines set ridiculously long.

i think the dude was lucky, you can see just as he was about to get lofted again after the wall incident the kite suddenly colapsed. if it had of powered on he was a gonna.
what was he a gonna do...?
Yay, this thread can finally die.
Thank you all for posting vids of other stuff throughout this thread. You kept my sanity amidst all the *&^%
As for kiting at Bondi etc. Um.. Enough said I think. Lets keep our beaches open by doing the right thing.
Good he wasnt hurt though.
Yeh what happened in the end?
Good or Bad?
In Gero there's a lot of wind and waves,
we can park our cars on the beach for free, 
but we dont have channel 10 
Grant I think its time after seven years of kiting to loose the leg rope.
Pornstar dont rub it in after my kiting holiday an Gero I cant get motivated on the east coast anymore.
As for the accident I think the punters on seabreeze hyped it more than channel 10 did.
Great publicity for Cabrinha kites.
Bring back the kiting at Brighton they were the good old days , no tv cameras plenty of room for everyone and those big airs we all loved boosting behind the pool fence.
Can't believe when it all stopped that he just sat there.
Called someone over....
Classic.
is it just me, or does anyone else have the suspicion that this was all a setup ??
