Well I want to bring this up after some daft scenarios recently, and in the past by some kiters around the traps in Perth.

Note: this does not apply to other areas worldwide with limited launch,land spots as it is difficuilt but more so this..............

Why is it some kiters decide to park there kite directly/ on top/ beside/ over/ next to over guys running out lines etc????
This is just dumb look around we are blessed with endless coastline at our disposal, please, look left look right signal your landing buddy to land giving everyone a courteous berth on the sand, it's not hardis it

I think some folks need to pull your heads out and think before you land on someone else's kite or over there lines when they are getting ready to cruise out.
I watched a guy the other day land his kite directly on top of someone elses kite then it unfolds to tangle itself into the kite he hit and take both kites spiraling down the beach, all I can say is WTF??????
Anyway needed to get that off my chest, as I've mentioned it to a couple of people and just got jibbed over it, which is pretty crap really,[side rant]why are there so many arrogant kiters these days[/end rant] does anyone else find this is the case I must admit it's pretty prominent at most beach kite spots around Perth, Melville being exempt for obvious reasons.
Anyway please if this is you think before you come bounding in to land it doesn't have to be on top of everyone, you can signal someone and move accordingly, let go the lazy factor and move.
Thanks

I want to get something off my chest. You know at a popular kite spot there is always an area where everyone wants to show off their skills, why is there always one toolhead who thinks he actually owns that area? Just because he can pulll off some tricks doesn`t mean everyone else is expected to get out of his way all the time. Also! why is it that there can be about twenty kiters doing there thing in a spot and a lone fisherman will turn up and plonk himself right in the middle of the action? Then look at you as if you should get the hell out of there.
Also! Do windsurfurs actually own the sea? Or is that what they would like you to believe?

Oh,,,, I also hate it when someone parks their car too close to mine so I don`t have enough room to stretcch out my arms while putting on my favourite tight fitting rash vest.
I hate it when sand sticks to my beautiful kite when I`m packing up. And why do other kiters put their stuff near my gear. Makes my lovely expensive gear look bad.
By the way. I`m hard as nails. The other day I walked bearfoot from the car park all the way to the beach.

I hate it when some sook walks bearfoot. Leave the bears alone and HTFU

The rest of us are hard enough to walk barefoot.
