ill admit it my kites are cab's and I'm a noob haven't lost a kite yet!!
Most if not all sports have crashes, stacks etc they go onto the blooper reels (which are quiet good to watch) so way do all the cab"s that crash go to the
BAG OUT REEL?

I was there that day, there was quite a bit of carnage, the other kite I saw trashed was a North although it was not in a tree it was ripped by a touro and it belonged to a very nice young lady, she was not impressed. The guy then had the hide to abuse her for getting in his way!!! Top spot but its does get a lot of blunt tools.

^ WHICH IS WHY WE GET SO PISSED OFF AT EVERYONE ADVERTISING THE SPOT OVER AND OVER AGAIN ATTRACTING MORE DOUCHES.

seriously, i am all for starting a kite club and making the pond strictly a members only spot so all those tourists can just f@ck off and stop ruining our spots.
though i do like riding around and abusing the **** out of them, sometimes i wont even do tricks i'll just go to get in the way and yell at people

Wow. I understand your frustration but calls for "members only" is about as low as you can go.

i guess sarcasm is just lost on some people
i was literally taking the piss about what pretty much everyone that rides there does.. they just go there, short tack in the tiny bit of flat water and just cruise around trying to do 5cm high "boosts" and crash loose their boards then drag around like idiots for every because they suck at bodydragging.

though i do abuse the **** out of all those douches that just keep f@cking **** up. that is fun

well its a proactive approach towards the council to show the locals care about the spot and its the tourists that are ruining it.

if you do something like this and make short term memberships etc available apon assessment from a certain school etc to show they have adequate skill and sense to deal with the spot's traffic it would work a treat. that way you an also regulate the numbers using the area keeping it un crowded as well as keeping out everyone who's going down there to try teach their mates etc. i'm pretty sure aksa had something similar for Cottesloe a while ago?

today i went down there and within about 5 minutes some kook crashed his kite right over mine and he just flounders around having no clue what to do so he lets go of his bar (my kite has gone through his lines) so my kite is pulling on one side of his bar and hes just being an idiot so i had to swim through his lines while his kites powered up.

just after that mess there is 3 tourists just short tacking and cutting in down wind of everyone and cruising at a sh!t speed which makes it impossible to unhook and do anything. its just a joke.

Don't cross the road, you'll never hear the end of it.
