Kitesurfing, windsurfing, wing foil, surfing, sailing, SUP and related activities are inherently risky. Hazards may include strong or changing wind, currents, waves, tides, cold water, underwater obstacles, offshore conditions, traffic, equipment failure, limited rescue access and errors by participants or third parties. Serious injury or death is possible.
Kitezilla provides general directory and travel information. It does not provide real-time weather or safety advice, professional instruction, navigation services or an assessment that a location is safe for a particular person on a particular day.
Before taking part, you should:
- obtain qualified instruction appropriate to the activity;
- honestly assess your ability and physical condition;
- check current official forecasts, warnings, tides and local conditions;
- inspect your equipment and use appropriate safety equipment;
- understand local access rules, restricted areas and right-of-way rules;
- seek current advice from reputable local professionals;
- never rely on a directory description as your only source of safety information;
- ensure that appropriate insurance and emergency arrangements are in place.
Conditions can differ substantially from typical descriptions and can change quickly. A spot described as suitable for a certain level may not be suitable under current conditions. If in doubt, do not enter the water.
Listings of schools, instructors, camps or services are not a guarantee of their licences, qualifications, insurance, equipment, safety procedures or quality. Verify these matters directly before booking.
Emergency information displayed on Kitezilla may be incomplete or outdated. In an emergency, contact the official local emergency services.
