I didn't need binoculars, it was all so close, that's what surprised me. And caused a bit of a knee jerk in the interests of FS.
Apologies to those irritated by my heading; I wanted to get the attention of those involved.
I'm sure a kite line wouldn't have damaged a prop much, just that these days large kites often tend to be attached to riders.
Mr. 30 ft may have been doing rollers along Scolt Head with no people there, so he was low, but the Overy beach had people on it. Sliding left over the sea as he came over the gap would have been safer.
First went down the bank to Overy beach in '54 Never seen any flying incident down there like what happened today until......today.
