Wetsuits / Bouyancy
Glad to see someone has read the 2011 rule book already, makes all the hours i spent editing it worthwhile, yet no doubt still not perfect !!! but we try.
Yes you are correct Gary, some rather intersting results from Belgian Tests carried out in a pool, we are just watching and waiting for now but thought it a good idea to insert an advisory notice in the rule book now.
It is potentially VERY difficult ( dangerous) to specify a particular manufacturer in the rules for safety wear, more likely to be regarding performance / kilo rating/ kite mark/approved by etc, but nearly all have disclaimers printed inside.
Dont all panic just buy authentic approved merchandise, its still not a lot of money to potentially save your life, same for skiers helmets, some better than others, buy the best. Talk to your fellow competitors or better still your Team Captain, Daren Kirkland.
See you all i hope at Burnham 24th April.
Barry
