Yo stop mowing the lawn guys, this is prime ground!
I'm trying to kite and tripping over lawn clippings.......
Its no progressive sport if you swing your hips too and fro, back and forth...my nan with her hip replacement gets more movement with her zimmer frame on ice skates.
Huh?
Sure was alot of kites this arvo, who was riding a lawn mower and how big a kite did you need to get it to plane?
no different at Leightons today
People tripping on 7's and 8's!! WTF in 13 knots
Nice work to the 2 Euro losers on blue 8m rebels half way up the dog beach.
Jim's mowing was out in force.
and just one more public announcement for the masses:
if you drop below someone, lower your f***ing kite!!!!
thinking i might start attaching razorblades to my lines
yeah scarb's is prime, can't believe how good it was yesterday, havn't had such a good waveriding session in ages.....frothing![]()
It is not about twinnie or surf board, it's about leaving that short segment of beach clear to those who ride waves. Those who ride in and out (mowing the loan) can turn back out way before the break and leave the breaks for wave riders.... and peace is maintained without much effort. I don't think it is too much to ask. Why to spoil each others' fun unnecessarily.
I have just read an angry post re the Pond, now scabs ...and while the requests make perfect sense, you seem to wasting a lot of time and energy.
Telling beginners not to kite somewhere? Telling TT to turn before the waves form at scabs? (the first requests is slightly realistic, the last, well just forget it).
Hey you might be venting and I feel your pain, but really is there anything that can be done - realistically?
there is an answer.. absolute regulation in terms of spots, lessons, licenses, policing. That my friends is ultimately what you are suggesting, albeit indirectly.
Careful what you ask for...
Beginners and most twinnie riders don't (yet) know what others trying to do on the break.... a simple and friendly explanation does help..... no, they are not necessarily ignorant....... and many of them read the forum...
is it time to bring up the right of way rules again, ![]()
eg. wave rider on left hand wave, trying to cut wave apart, going down wind near the shore , then TT rider coming into shore hard into the wind, rider on wave is upwind of the TT rider - who has right of way again???? starboard rule says TT rider , but wave rule says wave rider.
i just try and stay out of the way. try another beach that's less crowded
