Check out this bonehead kiting. Now miami beach is stuffed. Problem is I see this kind of behaviour all the time at leighton, Melville, and other areas. Seen some pretty proactive stuff from the older locals at woodies, but many other areas people wont or cant be bothered saying anything. What would you do, after a chat, when he does it again?
Cabs and trees.. SS and orshools
See it all the time - albeit with less crowds (and it is often other kiters they are pulling that sh!t next too) but that last 3 inches of water is irrestable to an orshool. Not unique to SS by any means but they do seem over-represented. ![]()
But when I say I see it all the time I get red thumbs and told off for daring to voice an opinion, as I windsurf. Interesting.........
Hey did anyone notice that unattended windsurfing rig menacing the water close to the shoreline where those awesome riders were smashin out their loops. Very dangerous, someone could have crashed a failed trick attempt and hit their head on that. (insert sarcasm emoticon thingy here)
If there is one thing I cannot stand its intolerance.
I think everyone guilty of intolerance should be summarily executed by the free thinkers of this world.
Lets rid the world of intolerance.
And lets start with those who insist on walking on beaches where kiters are quietly working away on personal self improvement goals.
Personally I would feel quite intimidated having people walking that close to my kite zone!
....and I can't brush aside the thought, that this thread comes so handy for the anti-kiter lobbiers....these are the photos, videos, and posts they like to see, read and possibly collect, and at the right moment present them to the councils....
....as a kiter I am still looking for any value of this thread and video......
....I would rather value simply preventing these from happening on our beaches at the time when they are about to happen rather than talking about them....
I am pretty new to the sport as well, and I know I should stay far away from other kiters, people, Spirit of Tasmania etc... but I have been in sports long enough to know that it is not the brand that does the idiotic stuff, it is the rider(person), whether you ride Cabrinha, Fuel or whatever, therefore why criticise the brand?
It seems the fact that I ride a Cabrinha immediately classifies me as the same idiot as some of these guys are?? 10 000 miles from the truth!!
Just a light dig there Teron. As has been mentioned before SS and Cab are 2 of the biggest sellers so you get more nongs on em by virtue of shear numbers.
Weirdly the orshools and tree attraction does seem over-represented (IMHO) but as you say it is not a set in stone thing.
Andrash you are right to some extent, but the aim of this thread is to wise up other kiters to ensure the above behaviour doesn't actually occur in oiur localities to fuel the anti kiter league (AKL) to go looking for these sorts of things. A fine line I spose.
I have 3 cabrinha's. I would like to run them all into a tree because I really want a new Switchblade quiver ![]()

Maybe I'll let this bozo (TOP) have a go
