Been a while since I posted on here.

Lately been noticing a significant increase on beach huggers on down winders. It is really sad, as for years, everyone seemed to know that you find a wave, follow it to the beach and ride it... with the occasional left vs right priority.

But lately there seems to be an army of folks who will cut you off on a wave, hugging the beach and just hop from one wave to the next to the next, with no regard for the person doing a tack coming in on said wave...

How are you handling this situation?

head down eyes on the prize when riding a wave.......accidents may happen, then we can talk or tumble on the sand while we untangle our gear.

Only done this a few times and hopefully this arvo is on. My last week in the big smoke.

Found the crew to be friendly, few dagger stares from a couple of kiters around the north groyne at city/floreat beach maybe as they are on a tack.

Noticed if a DWer is slower than others they simply go round.

I am one of those slower DWer as I am used to kiteing a break or a place that doesn't have DW capabilities or Im just by myself. If I realize Im in the way I will tack head out offshore a bit jibe and give my back leg a break and let them pass on through on the coast side then tuck back in behind them.

Super fun BTW wish the swell was a bit bigger though.

see you out there today Yewww!!!
