in another thread i read this, at first i was going to reply with, thats crap, what ya taliking about etc, but after the last few sessions in Noosa which is so busy at the moment, i actually agree with this, and id take it one step further and say lets make it compulsary, now just take a breath here, i am personally against licences for everything and restrictions by the MAN but this sport is growing so fast and where i kite we have so many newbies out of state/ counrty kiters rocking up creating havoc, for those not aware Noosa River mouth, besides kiters has swimmers, fishermen, boats coming in and out, jet skis buzzing about and a rock wall on one side, the other day was madness, people dropping kites on swimmers, newbies floating through swimmers with powered up kites etc, so maybe making it compulsary will give us other kiters some leverage to self police fellow kiters that clearly have no idea. Yes this may not work all the time, and hell anyone can pay some bucks and get a licence/ membership, but it will go a little way to making things safer, any ideas, what can we do to keep this sport from been booted from beaches over the coming years?
