just a heads up for whom it may concern, my local spot has very nearly got to the point of no return, it was an absolute circus today, kites out of control everywhere, ocean, beach and dunes.
Most of the locals who fought to keep this beach open kite elsewhere these days and the ones that have stayed are i'm afraid to say, over it.
Many people who have rarely been seen took credit a couple of years ago for a so called win, i'm not sure but i met a local resident on my way off the beach today and i think a hornets nest is on the way.
Just putting it out there !!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup absolutely agree...
All the hard work from those that know who they are......in vain so it seems..
Thanks a lot circus freaks...
Mullas, it was crazy, outnumbered Pinnas about 10 to 1.
The restrictions imposed have meant that although the majority of Mullaloo beach is almost empty the kiters are all squeezed into one little area in the middle.
So many people doing the 'walk' with there kites out over the water.
Not only is it easier to walk back up the beach with it your kite the other side it also makes it easier for the kiters that are on the water.
I was at pinnaroo yesterday and i failed to find any enjoyment in the place.
Sure i may be very new and maybe it was the public holiday but barely room to set up / make mistakes, people kayaking through kiters, fishos setting up etc. So much ocean and everyone is on the same patch.
Yet i've sat and watched a few blokes at a beach further north over the past few weeks and it just different. The other day there was a bloke learning / crashing and the 2 or 3 other blokes out just seemed to understand and gave him all the space in the world.
I'd be interested to know how many people who kite there are actually WAKSA Members.
WAKSA do a lot of meeting with councils to keep the beaches open, our major drawcard being that WAKSA members have insurance. It take a lot of time from volunteers to meet with these councils and their rangers to keep your spot open. Remember we are all Volunteers and we are there helping you.
Whilst being a WAKSA member also helps with the resources to keep beaches open.
The option of WAKSA members only can be looked at.
Help your self and your spot by kiting safe and responsibly and don't ever kite between the flags.
Pinnas and Mullas have kite schools there so why complain about learners???
What do you expect??
^^^
From what I've seen the problem is not with people that have gone through the kite schools there, but there has been such a large increase in tourists at these beeches with absolutely no kite skills and no local knowledge that they are a danger to themselves and others around them. The last 2 weeks has got noticeably worse.
^^mullas to Hillary's upwind? How long does that take? That's some serious quad burn right there. Nice work.
upwinders are the new downwinders... get onto em!
on a serious note - is waksa going to provide any info about the upcoming forum between a coalition of local government authorities who want to implement "something" to be determined, that makes them feel more comfortable about kiting in their respective coastal areas?
hate the nanny state, but it is well and truly coming down on kiting!
Kited there yesterday and saw a bloody huge Tiger shark about two hundred meters off the beach.
Never again.
just going back to the orginal post, no fingers were pointed, just putting it out there 
. For your info, Kite boarding Perth, the school at Mullaz is very quiet, only 1 instructor working at his own pace 
As for waksa members, no idea.
Most of the incidents i'm seeing, repeat offenders who think they know better.
As for newbies being the problem, complete boll**ks, any kiter with a year under his belt can spot a newbie and SHOULD stay clear and let them learn unless they need help or advice 
Happy kiting 
You are all invited to south Sandwich.....At best we have one kiter and 3 Emperor Penguins sharing our vast kiting grounds.
I once saw an old bird with her top off there, it was the talk of the town....even tho she was 65. problem was I couldn't prove it so ppl thought I was a BS artist....
Yeah you guys in WA may have wind but a busy day in Port Macquarie on the mid north coast of NSW is 6 kiters per km or 5. Great for wave count per session but not so much for show ponies.
