Thats a great idea Mr. Eagle!
I know from experience that towing a downed kiter and their gear isn't easy.Neither is swimming in with your gear.Being prepared for gear failure/accidents is something never practiced, but must be pulled off flawlessly to ensure your survival.About a month ago, I dragged in(self rescue) from the sandbar after crashing my kite.(I was simply avoiding the "sludge trudge"back to the beach.) I then spoke to 4 or 5 kiters who had never seen or heard of a self rescue, and ask me how did I do that? I think it would be smarter to teach everyone what to do now, instead of when it counts.
I think those little stinging things in the water were the larvae of the venomous crotch cricket.It has now been removed from the endangered species list.
