Do you kitesurf at Floreat in WA?

Word is out that a few guys are possibly getting a bit close to beach goers.

"The past weekend, a few kiters have been approached by the Lifeguards / Beach inspector and told that

-- there has been some complaints by parents about kiting in front of Floreat beach too close to the flags / beach

-- requested that we stay around the back of the white boys -- 200m when down winding. - not all of Floreat beach, just the section between the buoys.

200m sounds quite far, but I guess the point is stay well away from the beach and the buoys.

The beach inspector was very friendly and doing his job -- even gave a few kiters a lift back up to city beach and launched a few kites whilst asking us to stay clear.

I thought it be a good time just to be reminded - particularly as there has been "formal" complaints and the beach inspector will be forced to act --- or even worse, the council..."
