Attended the recent kiterace in Brisbane as a spectator. Very profesisonally organised and enjoyed by all. I was however totally disgusted with a local kiteshop trying to cause havoc to disrupt the event by posting on facebook telling all to go and kite where the race was on, knowingly there was an event on. Even worst they told people to kite in between the buoys (to deliberately get in the way of the races?) WT?!? Then all their few riders came down in their red clown shirts kiting and getting in everyone's way. There is also this joker with a 17m Core he is either a troll or a total idiot, kept crashing his kite right in the middle of the racing course. I am surprised no one punched them out. What tops it up was 2 of their instructors came to teach at a beach where a kite event was on. What a joke. It is not a shop I would want to liase with at all.

how sad

Thats just poor form!! Im sure this kite shop wouldn't like it if the other shops organised something like that to happen at there race event organised for this weekend and i think if more people had know about this posting on facebook there may have been a few guys going home with missing teeth...

From what I have read of the racing up there it appears a lot of time and effort has gone into the organising the event for the benefit of the local kiters.
Very poor form to do such a thing

Don't know which shop, but as long as you local guys all know, the word will get around and I am sure they will be hanging their heads in shame for a while.

Moderator edit: business name removed

Not surprising... Though you can bet this topic gets taken down

I thought this topic would be about me. Oh well there is always next time.

Chill out man.... do you really want to open a cans of worms.... and expose some of the behaviour of the organiser as well. As for punching out some one....... grow up.
p.s I wasn't there but I like my red shirt and you are welcome to call me a clown but only if you have the balls to do it to my face dude.

also instructers can teach were ever they like I was not aware that, this site which is commanly used for teaching by all was the exclusive domain of any individual shop.

If you could restrain yourself from mentioning business names maybe we wouldn't have to moderate it...

Ah sorry about that...
I just like to Kite and you as a moderator have all the Power.
