dont worry,
the KEYman will get his just desserts !!!
and
this werner bloke - where's is he from, Sweden - well I'm more aussie than him (4th generation anyway) and he doesnt own any of it !!! - next time I'm in Lano, Im kiting straight through so called werners turf
and for the record again
I dont like LOCALs with attitude !!

Reading all this and other threads about Werner I thought I would have a quick look over at the Windsurfing WA forum just to see if there was a post about him over there.
There was, and boy has he alot of support from all the poleys. They all think this guy is a legend!
Ignorance is bliss I guess...
First of all the person who calls himself Idiot leaves no guessing as to how he got that name, especially after comments like that.
Remember this is our sport and hobby not our lives at stake, to wish somethng of that sort on anyone would only come from an Idiot or perhaps a 12 year old having a tantrum.
Second of all, whilst I don't condone Werners behaviour you would think that some proof of him doing the deed would come before a flogging, I have been to Lano a couple of times and have had no dramas, I am not saying he isn't causing problems (I have read some forums in the past) but what I am saying is that I personally have no issues and even if I did I don't think I would carry on like some of you lot.
WA is a great place to live and kite and I think its time we started to realise what we have and stop bitching and moaning about anyone who's different or isn't doing all the right things according to their opinion.
This forum used to be a great communication between kiters and like minded people who either wanted info or were prepared to pass it on to help others, lets keep it that way and stop bagging each and all who love this sport.
Good winds to all
I have had nothing to do with this guy but hear stories about how nice and helpful he is (from windsurfers).
That aside, IF any of the stories about him from kitesurfers are true he is way out of line.
Not saying Werner is right but an analogy:
Imagine kiters have always been at Lancelin in front of the main grassed area. No agro ever existed. In fact it was so good there and so popular a school and hire place started run by a guy called err lets say Warner 
Skip forward 20 years and suddenly somebody invents jetskis - even better, lets say they tow a skier so they take up a bit more room.
Suddenly they use the same area at lancelin - even though they could go 200m away downwind - and there are a number of incidents on the water.
Warner is upset that they are making it hard for his learners.
The kiters in general are upset about "their" area being stuffed up.
Only some of the jetskiers are dangerous or a pain in the arse, but on some days the sheer volume of them on the water makes things a bit hard.
They could just go a bit further down the beach....
Would the kiters be up in arms, and would Warner the kite instructor / hire guy tend to go off?
As I said I am not endorsing his agro, just the door swings both ways guys.
peace.
Dont feel sorry for me Saffer, I dont kite. 
Obviously you dont get it. KH has got you all cited by the looks of it[}:)]
RayQ I think you missed my point. It is an analogy. Pretend windsurfing never existed, and kiting was always done at Lancelin main beach for the last 20yrs, then jetskiers rolled up.
I guess if you have to explain it though..........
I dont see how he hasnt been smacked in the chops already, ive never met him but read a lot of posts about him, bullys like that need a bit of rough treatment- park ranger or not other wise its a continuous cycle. I do how ever doubt a ranger would key a car, he would be that stupid would he????
but surely if a few blokes bailed him up one night while he is packing up.... No violence required just a bit of intimidation........ Oh and remember to mention the war
A different angle to the 'dangle'
Someone check when his lease to use that part of the beach expires - put in a major bid to use it with promises of Poley utopia. Then back flip it and Turn it all Pro Kiteboarding with a little windsurfing on the side and market it as the best kiteing spot in the world flat water N waves - the council will change there mind when they see the tourism dollar go through the roof !!!
Ledge to lancilin - one weekend+massive party at the pub Next weeken KiteStock+Massive party at pub
Someone needs to think big picture here & build a poley & kitesurfing & surf club On the beach combined with major marketing expertise worldwide and .... Bingo 
Integration of all water sports can be the only long term acceptable/sustainable outcome here.
I used to be a wave slashing poley fo 20yrs and can see its only ignorance from both sides
Plant the seed
Now wheres another poley to jump over Jussst kidding 
Cheersz
We all do get along. Been happening in Merimbula since the advent of the kite. Sometimes the bloke that goes right off like the Werners of this world have a point. Their methods may not be appreciated by all but at the end of the day they do make their point.
When does talking trash about an individual turn into defamation?
These stories about W are 99% made up because a kite-tard did something dangerous, got told off and caught a serious case of deflated ego. So they start spreading baseless slander in an an act of self justification.
Fkin grow up.
Me thinks this thread and all other W threads are better off being deleted.
To lighten the mood, this forum sure does have a lot of whiners, spouse there are a lot of Uk folk in the sport though
Two nuns are ordered to paint a room in the convent,
with a warning from the Mother Superior not to get even a drop of paint on their habits.
After conferring about this, the two nuns decide to lock the door of the room, strip off their habits, and paint naked...
In the middle of the project, there's a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" calls one of the nuns.
"Blind man," replies a voice from the other side of the door.
The two nuns look at each other and shrug, both deciding that no harm can come from letting a blind man into the room. They open the door.
"Nice boobs," says the man. "Where do you want the blinds?"
So hows the wind in Lano at the moment....my eastcoast mates have arrived over there for their annual east goes west hol....hope they don't get hooked into all the crap going on with the windjockeys....they are there just for fun...you know....the reason we kite.....fun,fun,fun.......oh yeh ....and for the piss takin too....
the fox
