makes signs!!
Signs at kiting beach are a good beginning.
if the rules are not written anywhere where people can read it, they don't exist.
it sorts out the kook who doesn't know and the one who doesn't care
more than half the problem solved.
if there is no sign telling the speed limit, there is no speed limit, if there is no kite rules sign, there is no kite rules.
when you tell someone to do the right thing, if there is a sign, its not
your right thing, so it's not personnal, and as better chances to get heard.
there is a sign at pelican point telling the CLEAR guides lines, where to get more infos, and telling not to kite between the yellow buoys and the beach because its natural reserve.
I've never seen any kiter going in the natural reserve, even if their kite is in the zone, so it works.
in australia there is a sign for everything, so why is there no kite signs at other metro beaches??
the sign should have 3 parts:
- general kitesurfing safety rules
- spot specifique rules
- public education about kiting: if you want to get into this sport go to school, contact of the closest iko school, don't go between the kiter and is kite...

this sign is made by the french national kitesurfing body, I have never seen it on a beach but it exists.
good for 7 to 77 years old, and every tourist non speaking local language, you don't need to know how to read to understand
So make the rules (rules, not guidelines), makes the signs, see what happen, and after start to think about how to enforce it.
PS: were is waksa? never heard anything on the subject from waksa
PS2: cutting lines is worse than useless, kooks will fix it with a knot, without knowing knots in kite lines are not strong. and they will break the line, so you risk creating an accident, which endanger the sport further.
