The thing I hate about forums is how people think denigration, bullying and harassment are reasonable forms of argument.

Dear newbies, when you land someone's kite, it's always appreciated.

If you are landing a kite, and you grab the kite, and you are standing 2 meters from a grassy area, please put the kite on the GRASS instead of sand, and the other kiter will appreciate it and think VERY HIGHLY of you.

On many beaches there is only sand so naturally there are no options but to land kite on the sand.

But kites often get wet, and if the beach contains grassy areas where the kites are beeing landed, it really helps keep the kite clean and happy when it's landed on the grass instead of sand. Putting wet kite on sand creates a whole load of mess on the kite and causes grief for everyone.

This has been posted in the past, but I notice this season many people land one's kite direct on sand even though the grass area is immediately next to them.

i can self land on a ****ing dime mate and everyone else who knows how to safely self land can aswell. i dont want to hear about your magical spot where you think its not possible. are you seriously telling me that if you know what your doing safely you should be punished?!? people like you guys are exactly why i never let anyone touch my paraglider or my kites. second one of you muppets get a hold of it you do something you think in your infinite wisdom is correct.

i have done more kiting alone (literally on my own islands with no one else around at all) then with other kiters. you learn pretty quick how to be independent when its your only chance of survival. i really dont understand what some of you peanuts in these over populated citys are even on about half the time. its ****ing embarrassing. half of you **** yourself if theres more then 30 kites in the air and yas think a 30m beach is to small.

i havent been to altona but ive seen enough photos to know it would take 2? maybe 3? of you peanuts to start launching and landing out in the water rather then this **** your on about all the time. if you really gave a **** about safety go cry about that. locals and there local rules allways crack me up. just do the safest thing possible and thats it end of story. honestly if you think altona is some super difficult spot your a super inexperienced kiter. go learn to self land properly put your own kite where you want it to land and try not to hurt yourself okay diddums.
