USER you sound like you rip. I know this bloke starting a clothing company. It is called FOK and its got sum quality stuff. Let me know and i will hook you up. Cheers PETO
one thing I did find a little curious with the whole kite kook getting dragged up a wall thing, was the fact how many of you kiters jumped straight onboard giving him ** like he was the exception, now dont get me wrong, Im aware there alot of kkok sailors out there, but seriously. If you guys outed all the tools out of your sport, there wouldnt be many left.
Why did so many kiters on the forums do this? Personally Ive seen this kind of thing happen plenty of times to kiters, why was this incident any diferent ( apart from the 3 million spectators)
Another 4 sucked in !
You kooks read my other post here to get my opinion of the small brains you must have to waste your time calling me names and coming up with pathetic,schoolgirly names !!
You are only making it worse for yourselves !
Next session you have,and you see a kiter out rippin it up all over you,you will be thinking of me !
Why can't you respond in an intelligent and articulate manner??
Mr Plod and Elmo. You know the meaning of oxymoron. eg as in a kitesurfer and an intelligent and articulate answer... and as in a kitesurfer and don't be a tosser.
Sorry Plod,I had something ,like ,usefull to do !
In answer to your question.........
We,as responsible kiters,and the AKSA (Aust kitesurfing Association) are trying our best to self regulate and promote safe kiting.
Kitesurfing is BANNED at Bondi, for good reason.At most times it is too crowded,and we don't wish to have a member of the public hurt or inconvenienced.
There are many tourists at Bondi,and unfortunately Euro kiting tourists have a reckless reputation.
The Guy that went out was experienced and knew of the bans.
Hence, RESPONSIBLE kiters are not very happy about his actions and the very public coverage.
We are trying very hard to get the message across that WE as a community will not tolerate reckless and dangerous behavior.
Hope that helps.
Oh and for those amongst you,rubbing your grubby little hands together with glee about kite bans,the windsurfers tried that on Maui. Not only didn't it work,it looks the windsurfers might now become effectively banned . There is a strong proposal in the Council to prohibit WINDSURFING within 200 ft of ANYONE in the water !Surfers included.
If it happens, ONE swimmer or Surfer out at Hookipa etc. means NO windsurfing.They have already had POLICE come down and confiscate someones gear.I understand that Josh Stone became involved.He must be worried,making a living from short term windsurf specific rentals. They are also tring to shut THAT down as well. Presumbably to get rid of the Windsurfers and make way for developers.
So be warned,you try to take down Kitesurfers you might go down with them !
They seem to be OK with kitsurfers .
No one swims at Kite Beach anyway ,and kiting is already taboo at Hookipa most of the time...so no great loss.
This is really good isn't it ??
Many people on here instead of the Idiot Box!
Great to see, but that doesn't mean there are no idiots here!
yerh,yeah.....how long before one of you Einsteins replies with "(in a girly whining voice) "But YOU are here Mr User!"
Hey User, on a more serious note - why don't you book a session or two (probably 100's) with hardie, or one of his associates. You seem to really need to enjoy life more.
Interesting how kiters need an Association to self regulate.....WTF???..LMFAO!!!!!
Finger and thumb on forehead...... LUSER!!!!
