No, dude

it is good that Dan made the mistake (that most of them do sommmmehowww

despite the forum titles)
It gives him a chance to be told what the spots to avoid are. Like Esperance, Margaret River, Dutchies, Scarbs, M's, Lancelin, G.H, Geraldton, and so on. lol
And little things like the local rules..... eg: normal ROW rules apply to all, regardless of kite or windsurf and some places are WAKSA / AKSA only or totally out of bounds. A few more Teuros understanding that would be nice.
Or - when people politely inform you of such rules, don't go off at them.
So Dan's accident may be a good thing....
