    Comments: One has to ask if the benefit will out-weigh the risks Are you willing to accept the additional risk to the kiteboarder as a result of wearing a PFD Is the next step to make all surfers and swimmers wear PFDs as well Please do some reasearch on the sport of kiteboarding before putting this legislation into affect.

    Comments: Clearly those promoting this have no idea of the realities of our sport. Once again, a rule applied blindly, inapplicable to the situation.

    Comments: Whomever came up with this proposal clearly does not understand how kiteboarding works. This will not make kiteboarding a safer sport, particularly if you are out in waves.

    Comments: Kitesurfing is more akin to surfing than sailing. Swimmers and surfers are not required to wear PFDs and kiting should fall into that category.

    Comments: Arguable a PFD would make self rescue through up wind body draggin more difficult. If a kiter is stuck in the water his best bet, even with a PFD would be to wind his lines and lay on his kite which would easily float him

    Comments: PFDs will only make kiteboarding unsafe in many emergency situations. Quick release systems are not designed to work with such equipment, and would be impeded by the vest itself. The limited range of motion would also present difficulties in remaining upwind and away from others in a safe location, overall riding, and body dragging upwind to recover a lost board in order to ride back to the beach. This will not make it ANY easier OR safer to learn kiteboarding.

    Comments: As an avid kiteboarder I completely disagree with this proposal. It is absolutely ridiculous to force kiteboarders to wear equiopment that I believe will make my sport more difficult and dangerous. It is also silly for the ministy of transport to requlate sports equipment. This is a very silly proposal

    Comments: PFDs should be optional for use when kiteboarding because they are utterly useless when considering floatation provided by the kite and board. Furthermore, the inherent risks of using a PFD outweigh the benefits greatly.
