I once read a book called The McDonaldisation of America. The main point of the book was that the concept of McDonalds was to save the customer time and money. However, over the years as McDonalds became trendy people actually waited in line and spent more money than if they had gone to the local diner.

Now to the relevance to kiting at Woodies. Our local and international "hot shots" are all going to Woodies offshore to "practice." The funny thing is they have to drive a bit, find parking, put up with thieves, wait forever in the line up, and all this in the dirtiest sand in WA. You all crack me up.........coming all the way from Europe to "live at Woodies" when there are thousands of kilometers of beautiful beach to explore in WA..............morons.

There are loads of flat water spots along our coast.
I can think of three without even thinking.

Its a special trick.
I have a few.......pm me your details and i'll send you photos

It requires growing another Neuron, so the other one won't be lonely.

You are kidding right?. The SECOND thing on your list is to go to Margs??? Geee the WA tourism commission really has done it's job really well. If your'e a kiter, get OVER the South (except Esperence area) and head UP the coast NORTH of Perth.

Here's a suggested list (and reasons) when visiting WA to venture North

1. Better chance of not getting locked up as the cells are usually full of locals
2. Alcohol is widely accepted as a breakfast food choice
3. Woodies?. That's what you get in the morning from lack of use.
4. Detox? that's a stronbow sweet recipe I heard of once
5. Sober fishing? unheard of...
6. Kite in 30 knots because it's what you have to do most of the time (north of Perth)
7. Have a quad kite session - 7:00am session, then a big breakfast. 12:00pm session followed by a light lunch and siesta. 3:00pm session, early dinner around six. 7:00pm quickie, beer at sundown.
8. Ride some really big waves in really strong wind on a really small kite with really high levels of adrenaline pumping
9. leave your car unlocked and window down because us country folk just do that because it's easier, and we don't own expensive stuff or cars(WAY north of Perth)
10. Go home and thank God that you had what many just dream of...

You can keep the Poor Rel and Gruezi catch up for 11 & 12 as that will happen down south there somehwere in a place they call Perff. Somewhere like I'd rather be Upper Swan than Innaloo?.

No offence meant Perthite Suburbanites, you know you are always welcome up here with the Gero deroe's.

what do you expect when you leave timber structures lying around in the water over night, get over it.

what? faceless vandalism of something made for the enjoyment of all?
people came from mullaloo to ride it today but someone went to the effort of going early in the morning to kill the fun

back on topic, woodies is crowded mid week... im scared what i will see on a weekend, based on other beaches i would guess you cant do much in the sweet spot

Dont wreck it mother!!!!

Im coming all the way from Gero to fall over it!

Let me know if your going to wreck it and hopefully I'll save the fuel money.

Who knows who did it.

My suggestion is to make sure you take all the bits home each and every night. As much as I understand your sadness, I can also see why your new "toy" may piss some people off.....like DEC or the City of Cockburn or a zillion other people who visit Woodies. But there is no denying the fact that it is a malicious and faceless character that did this.

Too much like work for the "boguns" we know that do the breakins (there are other groups though).
If it really was an axe then it has to be a deliberate premeditated act. Nobody wanders around the end of Woodman Pt carrying an axe just in case there is something lying around to chop up ?????
Some sicko who is too gutless to front up to the crew with his problem. Pity the world carries this trash around. But pity the poor deadbeat himself too - pathetic, miserable, worthless piece of crap.

You lie like a rug monkey man.
