A KITESURFER has been killed in a freak accident at Cottesloe Beach, with a coronial investigation launched into the death.
The 50-year-old from nearby Victoria Park was kitesurfing about 3.30pm yesterday when he stumbled and was knocked unconscious, and then blown by gusts of wind up a sand dune, through a tree and into a bollard.
Eyewitness accounts posted on a kite-surfing forum describe fellow kitesurfers desperately trying to grab hold of the man before he was blown away by the strong gusts of wind.
Despite extensive efforts from bystanders and a doctor at the scene, the man was pronounced dead at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital a short time later with extensive chest, neck and head injuries.
Police said they were compiling a report for the state coroner.
He is understood to have a three-year-old son.
The Kitesurfing Association of WA offered their condolences to the man's family, and said the whole community was in shock.
