Get in touch with Neil Godbold IKO national trainer at Paracademy. He has just qualified 6 of us as power kite instructors, its a 2 day course with an emphasis on safety and weather knowledge. Very worthwile. Also we are doing a vast amount of sessions with local shops, schools and clubs doing just basic power kite sessions and nothing else. Hope this helps KLAS-A

A quick answer to this is yep if a sport has an acountable body who regulates and sets out guidlines council are more willing to help them and work with them. Working as a sports development officer for a local council I look to sports that have already got rules, regulations and so on in place when I am working with them, mainly due to insurance and health and safety issues. Here in King's Lynn we dicided to form our own association for extreme sports, this included kiting, skateboarding and so on, we have qualified coaches up in different sports and have put in place our own set of procedures and health and safety regulations. Basically all the borring stuff most of us dont want to get bogged down with, this has now enabled us to work in schools and with the local councils putting on sessions and using facilities, a great move. So yep a governing body would be the answer, it is also worth noting that Sport England who govern sport as such are quoted as saying that they need to address the 'Less traditional and extreme and streets sports' if they are to encourage the younger generation to become more active. In essence now is the time to get organised and push the bodies we do have forward and get them recognised, we then get to work with and find ways rounds bans and so forth rather than just get to rant about such issues. Anyhow here endeth my surmon for the day, back to work now I guess!

With us all fighting to keep access on the beaches, the hair cuts should stay in the barbers far safer! Saw the blade in question earlier on in the day pulling a very dodgy looking kite surfer, who we quickly nick named nose dive!
