Hey Revivial,
The problems you have in your area with visitors is the same everywhere, its something we deal with on a daily basis at my local spots.....think yourself lucky you dont.
As a local crew you need to take it upon yourselves to approach visiting kiters to advise them of areas to avoid, things not to do etc whilst on the water. It sounds, from Danza, that you are a friendly lot so this shouldn't be a problem. At the end of the day its as much your responsibility as it is the visitor to approach you, however the buck ultimately lies with the locals to ensure their beaches stay safe and it doesn't get banned.
I'm thinking because you immediately went in there and started to blame me for something last weekend that you didn't bother to approach the person on the day. Take action on the beach not on seabreeze......actions speak louder than words in this case.
I can't believe that you've said "you may come up here on the rare occasion", since when did you own the area and when did you start paying for the right to use it for yourselves and tell people when they can and can't come to kite there? Share the beaches, take responsibility for ensuring your local area is safe in a friendly manner. This is a growing sport and whether you like it or not everywhere is going to get more crowded.

Have to admit the christian surf carnival was a hoaxWe were celebrating Ians 40th and wanted the spit too our selfs, kinda worked as well. We are planning a trip this time next year down south somewhere, destination is secret though. Will give a clue sometime soon so stay tuned. Was a bit of a record in how many sharks we saw, in my 8-9 years kiteboarding, ive never seen so many of the buggers. Still got both my legs, the big one was 3 times the lenght of my board, scarry
Like to thank all the guys and girls who came along and to everybody else for not
