Have you taken measures to protect yourself whilst kiteboarding? Knowing the right of way rules (we had a tip about this two weeks ago) is one way to protect yourself while on the water though what about physical protection? Have you considered investing in an impact pfd vest? What about a helmet? These are the two simplest and most effective ways to physically protect yourself though can we go even further?

Some other ways the community has mentioned protecting yourself are by:

• Placing your leash in the front of your harness.
• Doing regular maintenance checks to your equipment. Especially your pulleys and lines.
• Using apparel to protect your skin and eyes during extensive kiteboarding sessions. Lycras with SPF, floating hats, kitesurfing glasses, and even sunscreen!

What other ways can we protect ourselves whether it is on and or off the water? Comment down below.
