Niumalu I think you missed my point. Kiters actions in the past and complaints from the general public to the council have forced the council to recommend kiting does not occur in the bay to limit their liability. More kiters coming on mass(festival) and hassling werner and the windsurfers will cause more grief for kiters rather than fix the issue.

cool thread....there's nothing like a common enemy to bring everyone together

"Self Defence" is a beautiful argument for a flying fist.

I just want to stress, the problems I have had are purely with windsurfing not kitesurfing, so this is not just a kitesurfing issue.

What a thread I haven't had such a great read since the Safari Lodge days, I think Laurie puts this up to keep us interested.
Anyway there is another great story I've heard but not first hand, and this was when a volunteer for the Ledge to Lancelin was actually assualted a few years ago. Apparently this guy was in a 4WD and was driving back along the beach to pick up stragling windsurfers from another light wind race, anyway he drives on the sand in front of Werner's trailer, and next thing you know our man comes out and punches him through the drivers window because he thought it was dangerous, if anybody knows about this story it would be great to hear it from the horses mouth.

Great idea. Book him up for the next month or two. He won't be able to differentiate between real customers and fake ones.

I'm sure this could be reported to the harbour master or coast guard as dangerous boating practices as well?

Have to agree with Stamp, you all sound like a bunch of wieners.

I have had the opportunity to kite at Lano,
last year about this time I think.
At my age days blend into years.

not much wind but had to have a go.

set up on some grass in front of a BBQ area, in front of a home made "no kites" sign.

there was a trailer set up with windsurf gear next to me.
Is that this Werner dude?

anyway, I had no trouble at all, no approaches, didn't notice any glares, etc. etc.

Are you sure this all isn't just made up?

aaaahhh!! sounds like it's all calm again. goodvibes everyone.

It is people like that on both sides of the fence that ruin the sport for everyone else who just want to get out on the water and have fun.
