I love it.. You got your newbs at brighton downwind doing their own experimental things and breaking kites tripping over lines and self launching for the first time

Then you go up wind a bit and you got the intermediates who think they're all that doing their tacks and big hanger jumpers..

Then you go to dolls... Oh wait, nobody goes to dolls.

It's just one big confusion of kiting all together and we all love it and share the stoke, no matter how sh!t you are!

That picture was posted by another forum user here, so I don't know the story behind the shot.

I could see that kind of carnage happening in a course race scenario, because there is no excuse for that kind of carnage during "recreational" kiting!

Isn't that blue board a race board?

Kurnell is all the good kiters staying up wind launching upwind of the catamaran club.
all the newbs end up down wind pissing off all the windsurfers with their body dragging and 100 meter runs thru our main gybing area. (inside the groin in front of the toilet block.)
