yep, this might look like a laugh to kiters but what message does it send to the genral public who see this sort of *** at their local beach ??


Steve - heres the vid of the teabagging ****er I was talking about. Do you recognize him or his followers?


Yeah, I know of the guy in the clip, but he has stopped kitesurfing and the footage is ancient, taken back in 2001/2002, the kite was an ARX or something similar I think.
Anyway the guy in the clip is not the problem, its the fool behind the camera that is the source of all the trouble.

Its a real shame about this guy.

He is giving kiting a bad name,but does he really know whats going on ?

He has been around since the year dot.

When I first met him I was impressed with his enthusiasm and zest for life.He is a real character,with a great attitude to life.
He could be a great ambassador for the sport,instead he is leaving a trail of havoc !

Maybe if he knew how unpopular he is becoming,he would change his ways ?

I guess he doesn't read this Forum. There must be some other way to get the message to him. Maybe a letter ? He must have a postal base. Or slip a letter under his vegetable oil truck/home.

Come on Alex, try to fit in with the program !

Hey guys,

I remember that day, we had been out earlier and it was blowing a solid 30 knots. The teabagger is Simple Simon and Steve's right, he no longer kites. It was back in the earliest days of 2001. The kite was a 9.5m AR5 and he body dragged from Dolls to President ave carpark beach.

His even dumber mate was trying to launch him straight down wind but when the kite got wrapped around him and blew him over, others grabbed video cameras. If you had seen the first 10 minutes before the video started you would have been freaking.

Simple Simon was a solid 100-110kg and he wasn't sending the kite hard in that video. Imagine if he had looped it

The Byron Budgie Smuggler is a shocker and can be quite psychotic. Prepare for a massively out of control reaction if you approach him.

There was the time he had left his lines on the beach and they were run over by a dad and his son on a quad bike. Of course our boy went freakin' ballistic and was screaming at him. The guy rode off and returned shortly after with about 6 of his bikie mates. They returned and beat the crap out of him on the beach whilst everyone sat and casually observed. Only person who jumped in to help was hi girlfriend at the time who went off at everyone for not helping. No one wanted to!

He is quite the menace and should be run out of town if he appears on your beach.

That video clip brought back memories and some good yuks!

Thanks and good winds,

Who beat the crap out of who on the beach? Maybe Im a bit slow on the uptake, but it wasn't too clear in the last post. You said 'our boy' was sceamin - im figuring its the oxy thief your talking about there (alex) and it was the young boys dad that came back and gave him a bit of attitude readjustment ?

Im still dumb founded at this individual. Hes lower than whale sh!t on the bottom of the ocean. I bet he'll never show his face in Byron again.

Im not a youtube guru - but is there a way to get a PM to him through youtube

Maybe if he gets a few hundred messages he will change his ways a bit like 'user' suggested.

Unfortunately he always comes back,theres just no wind here this time of year,he is an exhibitionist through and through thats what drives him ,so that overriding drive means he has no conscience re:the consequence of his actions ,this is a behaviour you will not change,you are better off reporting him to the authority that can take care of him, the more people that approach him re:the havoc he is causing the harder he goes.
Its not what he does (each to their own) its where he does it ,amongst the biggest crowd he can find.
He claims to be Australia's 4th strongest man so be scared!!! hehe

Ha ! This turkey will not be scared off by rangers, cops or council lifeguards, He'll just jump in his truck, move to a new spot, Do some destructive behaviour,there, then move to another spot, wreck it for evryone there, Then all of a sudden he's back at your local beach when the heat has died down !!.
This is how he has always operated!!
Violence is not [always] the answer but he was Belted and had his lines cut with a pair of scissors at my local beach and his head has not been seen since. The aggresive screaming and shouting is all Bluff, he is a coward!
if trrns up at your local beach- dont just stick yoour head in the sand!

Oh yeah and women take note ,everyone knows he has that perverted sleeze factor happening, but this was a bit close for comfort when he bailed me up outside a shop in town a few weeks ago, followed me back to my car and was suggesting he knows i want him but cant admit it, and that a lot of women have this same psychological hangup over him but have a problem letting him know how they really feel and that i should email him.
There are definitely major issues going on up there in that grey matter.

No the body dragger is not the pest we are talking about Rooey, the pest just videoed the body dragger and uploaded it to youtube.
Michel you are so on it, there is something wrong upstairs, big time, with this guy.
The more people crticise him the more he fires up, because he believes they are all jealous of him. He regards all other males as inferior and with contempt, and far below him in masculine performance factor! LOL's. I'm serious, he really believes it, he is gods gift to women and can really verbally hassle them well beyond any level of reasonable behaviour.

I think what happened on the central coast has had the best effect so far of keeping him away from an area. He deserved every bit of what happened too, and is doing the same things at Wanda, jumping over kids, landboarding and buggying dangerously to get attention and hassling women, etc.

Didn't he use to work for Kitepower as an instructor?
Or sponsored rider or something ?

Seems to have a dream existence,just roamin' around like a Gypsy,just kiting and jumping and stuff.

He mentions his "tight budget" in the video. I wonder where his budget comes from??

Is he on John Howards ,Kevi Rudds Kitesurfing Team ?

Are we poor workers funding his Endless Holiday ?

How slack are you guys bagging.

He is a great bloke, that is always the first to help out in any situation. He taught me how to kitesurf about 6 years ago for virtually nothing. I felt like I owed him something so I tried to buy kites from him and he always told me to go see Steve at Kitepower. I find it extremelly intolerant and pathetic that Steve is organizing a witch hunt to blame the banning of kitesurfing on one person. Alex did a lot for Kitepower in its infancy for next to nothing (he even had advertising on his truck for kitepower which travelled up & down the East coast of Australia). I will agree with everyone that he is different and he loves the ladies. If you ask anyone that does not kite surf they see us all as weirdos, and 'not towing the line'.

Cheers

G'day Tony

You would be ding your self a service to speak to some people in locations about the bans and poor relations with local council, and about the crazy, irresponsible, attention seeking behaviour.
No-one at Kitepower is organising a witchunt, each to their own, but when someone start jumping kids with a kite at Wanda, rides on the bitumen carpark at Wanda, hassling women at Wanda, then locals needs to get concerned.

You are a local, imagine turning up down there for a quick surf session on your blade and find that you are not allowed to do it anymore, becuse one person screwed it up for you?

Are you going to stand around and let that happen?

There are a lot of fairly tales about what Alex did for Kitepower, however in reality it was always the other way round Tony. If you are his mate, then go have a chat with him, put some pressure on him to tow the line in our local area.

Just a reminder that this forum is not to be used to discuss peoples character.

We all know there there are pest kiters, and yes, we should all work together to keep the beaches safe.

However, it's not appropriate to start naming and dissecting the behaviour/history of individuals in this forum.

Thanks for your support!

Back to saving our beaches...

Yes Laurie,I agree to a point but when you promote yourself in the Media, i.e youtube,as a 'professional thrillseeker' you must except responsibility for your actions and cop it on the chin. If the public want to scrutinize your actions especially if your actions are a little raged to say the least,so be it, otherwise contain your ego.'Alex' is probably not all bad but definately does not promote that in public, as comments from those that see him in action varify that. I don't know the guy and have only commented on what I have seen in his clip....and the other bloke bodydragin in an 'out of controll manner',he too decided to show of on youtube so he is also open to a roasting

Why are we all picking the sh1t out of everyone and sledging them on the forum? I don't understand what this is going to achieve? Don't we all have a responsibility to "help" the newbies (like myself) and "educate" the twats that are proving to be a nuisance?

We all want the SAME outcome here and that outcome depends on how well we as a whole can show some responsibility and tact in how we handle the bad press and "cowboys/girls" in OUR sport.

So instead of slagging off people (who may look like they had it coming) on the forum why don't we get down to business and show the public, media and the twats who make us look bad that we are not what they are trying to make us out to be.
