I usually enjoy your usually deliberate, inane stirrings here on the forum slave
- but you are WAY out of line this time.
If you knew anything at all of websites you would instantly recognise that the WAKSA site is uncompromisingly professional - despite the fact that its develoment has not cost the membership one cent.
How dare you, or any other non-doer, slash a volunteer for their contribution - BUT especially poor form when that criticism is nothing but an inappropriate, incorrect & misguided commentary from a middle-of-last-century language attitude.
The wording of the 'letterhead' (hahahaha lol - showing ur age badly again there dude - those paper things we used to post had letterheads, websites dont )
The fact is, slave, the WAKSA website has been commented on & seriously complimented by a no. of webdesign corporates - worldwide. (ones that have very big IDs of their own).

AND then - about this 'west' or 'western' FFS
You are blatantly wrong. There has never been a rule (nor even any evidence) that 'not-for-profits', small or large, can only use 'western' whilst the larger 'for-profits' can choose to use the more diminutive 'west'.
Besides - Language today is a creative tool not a set of rules.
Me thinks your grade-school grammar & languishing language skills are stuck between the pages of that John & Betty Reader that got u started way back when.

Your comments were, at very best, unwarranted
I think an apology is warranted - bigtime.

ps - as a BTW word of advice slave
You should be spelt 'wave (space) slave'. This is cos the (normally) noun word 'wave' is now being used as a describing word (adjective) telling us what sort of slave (noun) you are.
But then praps a hyphenated 'wave-slave' would also be grammatically correct ie if it is to be considered a colloquialistic composite noun hhhmmmmmmm Dunno - best check my faithful old dog-eared copy of "Mrs Beetons - Book of Obscure Grammar" (BOG for short)
In the meantime praps you could adopt the more specific "sea-wave-slave". Just so other oldies, who may more readily associate 'waves' with monarchies (as in waving queens etc), dont think that you are a slave to "movements of the hand & arm as a form of greeting" type slave.

"Now that was nice & friendly, constructive criticism", says puppet as he toddles of to bed with a warm milk & his fav ol text for a bit of a cross-referencing-fondle. "I feel better now"

That's the question.
Seabreeze.com.au! needs to know.

If you are a WAKSA member you could always attend the AGM and put your question directly to the committee. You could also have a look at all the financials at the same time, then report back to "seabreeze.com.au" and let everyone know your findings.

This would then save the volunteers of WAKSA having to spend even more of their own valuable time answering your post on a public forum.

Yes, true.
But style and taste is in the eye of the beholder.

Allow me to reiterate my previous Darwin example.
Why would Top End kitesurfers call their club the 'North' Territory Kitesurfing Association ?
That name is just soooo wrong.
lol.

Why then is the omission of 'Western' ok for sandgroper kitesurfers ?
For style ?
For coolness ?
Why butcher the State name ?
Have some goddamn pride, Puppet.

What? To hide behind an anonymous identity and be overly critical of the work of volunteers who give their own time to maintain beach access, promote the sport in a safe fashion and act as a voice of 'west australia' whilst holding full time jobs? Is that why forums were invented?

I'm still awaiting your response to my original questions old man.

fences,

Are you that cheap-arse webpage designer ?
I'm starting to believe it cause your stalking is creeping me out, man.

No old man, I'm not the cheap-arse web designer.

Why won't you answer my questions? Are you ashamed? Are you afraid that by truthfully answering my questions, you will not only be a hypocrite, but will cement the fact that you're a loser?

The sad thing about your outlook on this is that you're serious.

Wwell didnt this thread get a little bit off topic

Just a crazy idea I'm throwing out there, been thinking it for a while and too some extent has already been done.

In Victoria I know they have Surf Clubs, you know when they have enough people riding in a region and form clubs based on a local spot. This is sort of already been done if you want to count team 4680 haha or team maggot for that matter.

Point being I know speaking on Woodies crew behalf we normally catch up not just at the beach and stuff and most are pretty good friends. I know is the case in other spots too. Anyway getting to the point my suggestion it would be good to have small clubs setup within WA such as Woodies Riders, Scarbs Riders, Safety Bay Riders and River Riders. Within this If there was enough interest we could organsie small friendly freeride competitions and social events. WAKSA is such a big organisation and it is doing a FANTASTIC job but its never going to organise photo shoots, videos etc.

Small clubs would be able to focus much more on the riders at the spots interests. For instance, I know the river kiters aren't necessarily as wakestyle or competitive based riders, most just out there to have fun.

I'm not talking about a full on club straight away with memberships and fes and stuff. Maybe one or two people who are proactive at a spot just volunteering, getting everyones email address and then maybe sending and spreading the word about downwinders, BBQ's, freeride comps etc. of course with riders paying on the day for things that cost money. I know it sounds crazy but with the amount of people doing it in WA its possible, once they get up and running it could develope a lot more, who knows.

My 2 cents.

i can't believe i actually stopped reading this thread over a week ago.
