Saunton Sands is privately owned but they do allow kitesurfers with the correct insurance. They're only allowed to launch a fair way down the beach and can't come back towards the hotel past that point as far as I know?
I'm sure it got banned on Saunton for a while which may or may not have been something of a knee jerk reaction to a land yacht mowing down and killing a beach goer somewhere else in the country?

Yeah, that was up at Lytheham. Got a lot of kite buggying banned too. I know Saunton after being race officer at the world Speedsail championships. Fun folk to deal with.
Used to drive there from Oxford most weekends to windsurf. Even had HyJumpers make me a custom assymetric for there. Then i got sensible and started going to better venues.

Thanks guys, I've caught up on all your great advice, and google image searched 'kite surf accident', and am now sufficiently put off this death-wish sport.

Back to RC airplane envy methinks
