Some very sad news via Seabreeze. Marc Sprod ("Coldshot"), a well known and experienced kitesurfer died after an accident at Cottesloe Beach in Western Australia.
Condolences to his family, friends and fellow kitesurfers.
Details of the accident have not been confirmed, but it appears that after a lull strong frontal winds lofted the kiter onto land. First aid was provided. The death has been referred to the Coroner for investigation.
Great care must be taken when kitesurfing during storms and/or in frontal winds.
