I was going to post this in Windsurfers forum but I though I would share -

There was a chap at Woodies yesterday doing speed runs through the pack. He was very fast and taking no prisoners just shredding through the line up at about 60kmph

He then missed an older guy by inches scared the hell out of him. I tried to chase him down with no luck and he was not in the car park after the session.

It amazes me the absolute disrespect and sheer recklessness this guy showed.

He freaked the kitesurfer out if he had hit him it would have been DEATH!

This is not a joke anymore it is not to be watered down.

I will be on the look out for this guy as he needs a word.

Crikey! I never spotted Ioz as a poley!?

(kidding)

Poor form from the poley but possibly born from having kiters do similar to the poley area every arvo at Dutchies etc?

Two nongs don't make a right of way tho.

Yeh it's a shame the same agro we have come to experience in surfing, is creeping into this sport. I must admit though I do see some fellow kiters do some dumb things, especially in surf. Right of way down the line, out, around and back in, keep it simple. I make a point of giving wa to most windsurfers, especially the older crew out of pure respect and the fact that their gear is heavier,moving faster and they can't change speed or direction as fast (unless expereinced wave jumpers/riders).

Ho hum ...the madnessof human nature...

What colour sail was he on? Did you see a sail number?

I might well be able to find out who he is.
