sweeeeeetttt!!!

Euros beware: sharks, boxing kangaroos, rat eating spiders and spider eating hornets in WA!

some nice nice moves and stashes Luke.

good to see me in the vid riding out the back in Safety Bay on my GTS at 1.13. LOL

Nice riding, but no wonder our 2 spots are ruined for 4 months whilst we suffer your euro invasion. You naming spots in your description like this is bulls###, I've kited my local once in the past 10 weeks. I can't even get parking at my local now because you guy's park in our spot and not the Euro spot. You suck, the local schools suck and I'm voting for a ban at safety bay. It's absolute disgusting, the one time I went back in the past month I heard a eurro shout to his mate F### the locals and continued doing short tacks and flying his kite low no matter what tack.

You whiteside are the same as Ned and Simon....come get your photo's and vid at everyone's inconvenience publish how great you are then f### off for your season of competition.

Sorry I don't tell you what you want to hear, but I'm over it. While I'm at it, would one of you pricks landing on the grass hurry up and get hit by a car because seeing kites in the tree everyday aint gonna get it banned in a hurry. We need guts and brains splat across the road to really send the message you brain dead f### wits. Why do the French and Italians seem to think they are invincible

Red Thumb away, couldn't give a fat rats clacker

Spaz out of the week award goes to........ SammyJ. Way to take the rant to the next level. There are a dozen other threads if you want to have a crack at the Euros. Maybe ease up on the personal attacks and chill the **** out.

Whatever DR feelgood, I been kiting for a year and know everything.

Your not a local so you don't understand the frustrations we are going through currently, so keep you peace keeping feel good shizen to yourself

Fk yeah well said!! It's all this pushing the sport business & selling locations online that has lead to everywhere being so dam crowded. I'm not one to carry on about safety..... but I must say many locations are getting freakin dangerous. It's a large area sport and it's ridiculous that we can have 50 - 60 kites in a 200 sq/mtr area. It's a cheap act to the locals if you name drop spots on here....anyspots, anywhere.. I can clearly say our local has been turned into a chaotic circus of bodies & kites (we don't even complain about windsurfers anymore, it's the kites and the dkhd visitors that will end up getting as banned from the spot).... and we've got idiots STILL selling it. Maybe we can jam 70 or 80 kites in the same area the following season or the next!! That would be a really cool achievement. Some certain hero even exposes maps of how to get there! Answer to that - $$$
If you don't know what I'm on about with the crowds... you'll see in a couple of years to come at your local spot. It'll soon be spoilt like surfing... And you can thank this person ..... and that person.....They're out there spreading the word now... locally, nationally & internationally. P*ss O#f!!! with the location dropping!!! Name & shame those who do it.

Thanks for the vid - great riding!

I am 100% with Sammy on this one.

No manners, no respect.................we have all just met too many Euros who are simply a bunch of spoiled, cheap, disrespectful puncks.

We are all over it, but I can certainly understand how these puncks want to spend time at a beach rather than making something useful of themeselves back home.....Rovingeuro trash (RET), thats what they are called and come from EFL where life really bites because there is no space or freedom.

Soon they will all be leaving on a plane, but they'll be back in greater force next year, what to do?

That's right, I am a paying member of the Try and Love a Euro club.

Luke epic Vid bud, looks like you boys are having a great time out there.

All the locals, get over it guys it's the same all over the world, we have to share our beaches back home too and for us the quietist time is winter too.

Name and shame those who mention the spots!!!
Guys *****, ****, **** and others are all well known spots and certainly not secrets.
How about picking up a book once in a while, you'll find most areas have been published for years now.

YOU DONT OWN THE BEACHES,
If you are worried about certain activities threatening an impending ban then speak to those concerned and rectify not just get the fu$k off my home spot.
Localism at it's best.

You, me, we are all to blame for the rapid growth of kitesurfing by putting on a show every time you go out.

We are supposed to be the Whinging Pomes, but you lot are bitching and whinging enough for the lot of us.

Yeah that's a good idea kitesurfjim... we'll take 4 months off work hanging out at the beaches trying to speak to all those contributing to get us banned indefinitely. Brilliant plan dude, we'll just speak to those concerned and rectify. We'll make friends with those who do short runs, cut people off, keep their kite low while being upwind, do 13 handpasses and crash their sht on people. We'll just speak to those and rectify those who sleep in the carparks, leave rubbish everywhere, poo where ever they like animals, launch kites where you're not meant to and have the worse attitudes on the water then we do on this forum now. Sorry but the feel good kite community spirit we used to know and luv doesn't live here anymore. Sad but true. Like SammyJ says ' It's disgusting'.... for many reasons.

To those who don't quite understand... Yeah, We definitely don't own the beaches or the spots! If you want I can type that 10 times!! We're just trying to protect it!! Stop it from being banned!! If possible stop it from being that over-crowded and dangerous then it already is! ... Go travel the world kiting and have a great time but show some respect and remember you're just visiting. Show some respect and reframe from going out your way advertise people's locations. We've got enough people coming through the kite schools and being drawn in by local retailers without people like supersaturated advertising our BS as the place to be for your next holiday.

Should we make up a website and target your best kitespot in Victoria as the place to be? Should we organise some comps there? Put some photo's up? Make a video called 'A day in Vic'? Start up another fkn kite school and make a business plan as to how many people we can push through each year? Should I rock up there in a wicked van and lay a nard in the carpark and leave rubbish everywhere?
Yeah we've got issues over here... fkn herds n herds of them.

Even a percentage of our own cool kids and strap-on hat, seat harness wearing crew who think they are great ambassadors to the sport are ruining it in front of us. Farout most them can't even see it. If you're not already saying 'where the F did all these people come from' or wondering why you're local spot has kitesurfing is under threat of being banned... you soon will be! in a few seasons to come pencil dks.
For the c**ks that respond against gruezi, sammyj and the rest of us. I know 'We don't own the beaches'!! Yes we've got issues!! And yes we're angry.... and we've got good reason to be.

The reality is kitesurfing is a ever increasingly popular sport and we live in a windy corner of the world.

Incessant bagging Euros or the odd kiter who might mentions that he had a good kite at a local beach isn't going to change that dynamic or the popularity of those spots. Angry rants over poor kiting ethics and lack of hygiene standard is unlikely to find the target audience in this forum.

Getting angry is understandable but not particularly useful. If we could channel this negative energy into workable solutions to rid our spots of undesirable activities, we all win.

Lets work on what we would like to see in the beach management plan. Might be easier than trying "self" management, with those who just won't listen.

If anyone else has heard the whistles blowing from volcome house then u know how effective self regulation from the locals can be

OK, I read some of the replies and have ascertained that some of you have inadvertently missed the point being made. I think people are focusing on the wrong things here, this is not a Personal thing it's a generalisation of those that take photo's and video.

I'll try to put it into Lehman terms for those that appear to be struggling.

Those people that take photo's, videos etc for their sponsors should try and do it with out impact on others and refrain from finding the need to put specific locations details down in your title/description.

My example from a year ago how a vid should be posted www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/General/FUN-wave-vid/?SearchTerms=sammyj

This is common practice in the surfing world, but unfortunately kiters for whatever reason seem to think it's necessary to publish every little detail. I've made several movies and never name a location and when I post it, I ask readers if they know where it is to please not mention it. I believe that those that put in the hard yards and research and explore should be rewarded.

To say I'm childish and futile is absurd, I'm the only local proactive enough to start a Safety Bay group website to help promote safety and inform visitors of the guidelines set in place by local authorities. I've been through the whole approaching people at the beach, I've copped abuse from french and Italians you name it and had to turn away before things got out of hand.

I feel for you WA guys, a week out there was enough to drive me mad. I guess you just need a bad season, or Ivan Malat or something to return.
Where's the brothers? get them down there cutting lines and evicting trouble makers and I'm sure things should be sweet again soon. Or you could just feed brad a beer, amp him up and tell him that he needs to move the euros to the choppy side haha.

p.s. Sounds like you just need to start running into people, do that a few times Sammy and they get the drift.

Ho Ho Ho loook at this little classic bit of a Seabreeze gem, no matter where you go you are garented to find a bit of agro here!

So what is the real deal here? is it naming the spots? is it the euro trash camping in the carpark? is it short tackers? or is it that in the summer alot of guys arrive who are better riders than you are and it makes you unhappy?

well the real deal is you guys are lucky to have sch amazing spots and you should be making the most of it! any guy who has half a brain can see that between 12-4 the pond will be packed and if you dont like it then dont go in at the "peak time". it doesnt get dark till 7-8 so the wind will still be there birthday boy.

We also hate euro junk, you get them everywhere so get used to it.

and i wouldnt call safety bay a secret spot, i think people know about it so you can stop worrying about that.

anyway im pretty busy looking for new cooler spots, ive found one in the bottom of africa and ive heard its pretty windy, also in egypt as i think its kicking off and a little known spot in brazil which i think gets a bit of wind aswell! but dont tell anyone!

Anyway...euro party at the pond! boom

haha neck up ya parrot.

problems are you wa surf clowns launching n landing on that grass area, other euro kooks doing it on the grass at the main road right near the power lines, busy road and trees. one of your kook mates already went flying into the side of a car in that carpark.

stupid short tackers that just snake and **** up the line up, cut infront of you then ride so ****ing slow you cant get enough speed to do a trick behind them.

stupid douches that just turn around smack in the middle of the pond without looking behind them and completely ruining someone lining up for a trick, the amount of times ive been half way through something to come out of a rotation and see some kook swining his kite towards mine forcing me to bail and pull my kite down to miss his is a ****ing joke.

then all those damn tourist dicks trying to learn / teach in the pond section is the worst, and you guys at the school should really start informing your traveling pole smoker buddies that they belong on the upwind side of the spit and to stop teaching in the pond section.

I'm yet to see these better riders you speak of too, all i seen so far are a bunch of lunch time merchants using fruit loops and doing kite twirls that are weak as piss. there has been one or two "good" riders there though but not many has come through that have been worth watching.

no one said safety bay is a secret spot but that doesn't mean we need it blatantly advertised over and over again so that more and more nut sacks show up and ruin the goodness down there.

the problem that truly lies here is that safety bay has already been stupidly close to being banned as it is and having all these ****ing blow ins come in and not even have any regard for the local rules set in place to keep the spot open and operating, just go out and do what they want when they want and not having a care in the world is going to get the spot banned. then what? you guys all **** off over to africa and start the process over there while we are stuck here with one less spot to ride. nah mate doesnt work like that.

and lastly to suggest the locals should go down later to miss crowds is just plain stupid, your saying that because there is such a influx of tourists that we should stay out of our local spot to avoid the crowding and come down at a later time is just a bit of a joke really.
