Warrens kite instructor Emilie has quit because she got over the lying and constant dodgy crap and guests always being unhappy (even an old boyfriend who came to visit was disappointed with the setup while he was there and left unhappy) and leaving and the rest of the stuff that is well documented. She was the only kite instructor at Safari Lodge at the time, doubt there is someone doing it now. She was his only western staff member (not Fijian) and supposedly posted on forums when there was issues surrounding the Safari Lodge (pretty dubious though) and is now leaving for the reasons she was supposedly talking about. She was constantly told that the other people operating on the island - Morrison, Go Windsurfing and others were 'bad' when she finally realised they actually had nothing to hide - all their stories check out, they have no enemies and were actually open and friendly, they weren't the bad ones at all.
I know this has being dragged through the forums enough already - only because some of the patronising and inaccurate replies from the accused person. There were many people there from many states(WA, Vic, Qld) and brands (LF, North, Caution, Naish, SS) so there are no shortages of reliable references. The story has now come out in KBM and is in fact quite reserved compared to reality, the KBVM subscribers will see even shows a bit of the house conditions first hand (eyeopening).
Anyway hopefully this is the end of it - however I feel there are others who will still want to have the last word...

Well I still don't really know the full story myself despite being there, it was so complicated and sneaky. However I was worried for Emilie that she might be getting duped or not getting the full story from her employer. I pointed this out to her the last time I saw her but was unsure at the time if my friendly/concerned suggestion to find all the facts out for herself was taken on board or not. I guess it was. All the best Emilie, I hope you find your idyllic spot yet where you can kite happily without the problems and issues you too were subjected too.

What a load of fucn crap!

Just suppose for one moment that Safari Lodge was dodgy or not all it was cracked up to be,what the hell is the whining and crying about it doing in a Kitesurfing magazine,for cryin out loud !

That Kiteboarder mag is SO negative,my jaw drops in disbelief at the **** they write ! All they do is sling off at "danglers" and "kooks" etc.then keep proclaiming about the "new direction of the sport,wakestyle."

Of course this pathetic rag is an offshoot of Boarder Mag,a wakeboard mag.

How about publishing something positive about Kiteboarding for once??

Or just keep being negative and insulting "danglers" etc. till you piss everyone off and fold up ?

Psylor, your beef stew is as legendary as is gruiezi's passion for arson.
I particulary like your roast dumplings with that very special gravy you make....how do you do that.....Psylor with your stew you are welcome in my kitchen any time.

Just spent 10 days at Safari. Had a ball. Great spot/wind/people/food (especially food).

Sure a few changes are needed before it is perfect but it is an amazing place to kite.

Just my two cents worth.....

Cecil's boyfreind Cyril has quit - finally got over the lying and constant dodgy crap, deciding instead of being the focus of dodgy innuendo to become the focus of dodgy innuendo.

There are many people in many states of confusion as to the goodness of the bad people associated with the stories about Cyril and Cecil, but the 6 subscribers of GAFM will get a 'special look' at the 'house of Cyril' - flyopening!!

All I hope is that reliable references are available - god knows everyone needs a reliable reference.

where is my stash

Go Justin and the rest of those who realise how a few DH's can stir up some Mob mentality.
I have heard the story from both sides(literally), and I still would not hesitate in going back to Safari Lodge.

And maybe Freesail needs more support and direction on content that interests the vast vast majority.

Not sure if its intentional but sounds like a great plug for KBM.

I just gotta buy the next edition of KBM to find out what really happened. Hell this is more exciting than the home and away episode when alsa left the show and the surf club burnt down.

Never been to Fiji, never read an article in KBM but the pictures are good for both.

zac,
don't remember posting anything on any forum, and don't remember talking to anyone about anything.
I wish people wouldn't speak for me... It obliges me to respond to those damn posts, it upsets me and doesn't bring any good to anyone, what's the damn point?
I'm still standing exactly where I was one month ago: I had nothing to do with this at the first place, I don't want to be involved, it's not my story, keep me out of it.
Could that, please, be possible???
Cheers
Regards
Emilie

Hey Guys I was there when Emily was about to quit. I left before her and she was telling me all the bull**** that Warren gives her, I dont blame her for not leaving. She asked me not to tell anyone at the time but now she has left im sure she wont mind. Be warned about Safari Lodge. I can put anyone in contact with Emily if they wish to hear it first hand!

Laurie, can we PLEASE put this subject to bed. I can't believe that items from June have creeped back in to start this whole debate all over again.

This subject is worn out and it hits a nerve with people using the forum so lets just leave it alone. It's in the past....find something more interesting to talk about other than flippin Warren and Safari Lodge.

Cheers
