DAILY ACTIVITIES AT THE BEACH
- Clinics
- How To Help an Injured Kiter: Do you have 20 minutes to spare? The way you respond to a kite accident could make a major difference in someone’s life. Kirk Talon, a 30-year veteran firefighter/EMT with the City of Davis, CA, has generously offered to conduct a How to Recognize a Severely Injured Kiter clinic on Saturday and Sunday at 11am. This 20-minute clinic will cover how to approach an injured kiter and how to properly immobilize someone before Emergency personnel arrives so as to minimize further damage. www.onscenesafety.com.
- Strapless Wave Riding by Matt Elsasser/Cabrinha: Stay tuned for details! Possible others may join for beach and water clinic(s)! http://www.cabrinhakites.com/team-matt-elsasser.html
