These forums were established to bring together people in the kitesurfing community, so we can all share the stoke, share the knowledge and generally extend the good time we have kitesurfing.

We can work together to ensure beach access, build associations, discuss safety and help each other.

Through the sport of kitesurfing I've literally met 200+ new people via this forum and on the beach, and they're all excellent people - keen to have a chat, keen to share the know how, and talk about the wicked time we all have kiting.

Let's all work together too keep these forums are great place to visit. I'm hope I'm not going to far in saying that this forum should be a sanctuary from the usual stresses of work, traffic jams, bills and anything not to do with getting out on the ocean.

I hope you're with me!

Enjoy... Lozza

can i please suggest Laurie, that we remove the red thumbs judging system. IMO they are what start the bad vibes, which leads to all the hast. "Green thumbs for all" is my motto.

Surfingboye, for what it's worth I've found your posts of the past few weeks to be, on average, more thoughtful, clearer, more constructive and less abusive than much of your earlier work. So cheers. This is not to say I always agree with your perspectives, but when they're thoughtfully articulated I am at least more inclined to consider them.

Good vibes and free speech, dojo.

Well best of luck when the last breeze blows out... [}:)][}:)]

Personally I am grabbing my sleeping bag and heading for the hills to hybernate away from all the frustrated and angry/irrational posters out there.

Alternatively the SB folks could try to find pursuits and pastimes to get them through the (seemingly) never-ending lull.

Nah, just open up a can of internet-whoopass instead.

Loz ya big girly blouse you need to HTFU/STFU or a host of other abbreviated insults that will no doubt (although i hope not) make a bit of a comeback in the next few months.

Well at least I can enjoy the footy season.. oh hang on I follow a WA team - awww CR@P!!


Is it summer again yet?
