Sorry Spacey, but as a Poley I have no idea what you blokes are doing even when you are going in a straight line, let alone "bearing down".
Trouble is you blokes think that everyone is watching what you are doing because we are so impressed with your skills sorry dude NOT SO! and actually I do sail at Woodies all the time. As I said before its simple, KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN and look whats around you AT ALL TIMES.

No I don't expect you to watch us and I don't expect you to be impressed, as a kiter I keep in mind when a poley is sizing up a ramp or when he is likely to gybe soon or how fast he is going if he is going to collide with me if I do a jump. But go on, don't take it on board, stay oblivious.

I'm only impressed by your phenomenally large nob too.

I'm quite impressionable.

By Safety Bay I mean the part we call the pond

Beginner kiters
People being hospitalised
60 water users in 2 sq kilometres
Mature windsurfers with attitudes etc etc

Here are a few comments I have received.

Guiseppe: "You giva me da six pack or I come sailing over you face "

Devo Derek: "I won't sail as long as I get to play with their girlfriends"

Tom Tornado: "I forgot all about that place, time to get the old Catamaran out"

Chop Chop: "What a bunch of girls, just punch on, last man standing wins"

Trev the thief: "Keep coming down suckers, I made $200 there last week"

Stuntman Dan: "Mate I just boost over them, I can easy get a 10m air there"

Old Codger: "How can they afford all that stuff ? bloody rich kids"

White shoe: "Negotiations are under way for my new marina, enjoy it while you can"

Cement Man: "They are a hazard to navigation for our barge, ban them all!"

My Kids: "Not again Dad, theres's too many rocks, yucky weed and too windy"

Council Dude: "We are proposing a new user pays car park $2/hour"

Cottesloe Chick: "That place is a dump, I wouldn't be seen dead there"

Lloyd Rayney: "I told them Woodmans Point, not Kings Park !"

Nothing impresses me.....I'm only impressed by my phenomenally large nob.

If that's the case relative then you would be impressed by the two contributing on this forum.

I don't know what it's going to take to get through the heads of you boys, i.e. Spacemonkey and Carbine, but you two DON'T OWN WOODMANS POINT. Not sure if it can be put any simpler. And no I haven't kited there.. and no I haven't experienced it.. yada yada yada. Doesn't matter. You two go on and on about who can kite there, who can windsurf there. Christ, I even saw a post in the Lost and found by Carbine about dignity and telling some kiter what beaches he can kite and when he can kite them. "Pay your dues." Dude, you've been watching AutoFocus too many times. You're a joke mate. If you still got that guys dignity you should hold onto it, as it seems you have none of your own. Until you guys produce some sort of deed or title to Woodmans Point I'd be telling you two to simply Chew the Hammer.

I look forward to your witty retorts which will in essence be "Locals Rule" right?

Jeez...Metro WA (from what I remember) is littered with Epic spots...
Sort it out....

Woodies is full of thieving Gypsy scum......go North my friends!!! ... Pinnaroo is the answer... (Sorry Pinno guys)

Just leave us alone on the sunshine coast...we'll be down on the river this weekend.......Bring it on!

I,m glad you lot live in Wa with all that agro and I,ve got the Pit where Kiters and Boarders all have a good time SAILING ,GOING FAST and JUMPING. Cos thats why we go to the beach ,its FUN. Want a contact sport try anything else.....please

Anyone that knows me would not claim i spend all the time on the forums and never at the beach. Was there today...

Well said Fozzy!!

You punks have gotta get a handle on reality...

That piece of water is for everyone. If you see a windsurfer coming through on a speed run, give em some space! its that simple! it only takes a minute out of your day to set up for another run, you would give way for another kiter trying a speed run or a trick- whats the difference.

You guys are giving Woodmans point a bad name with all your ownership bull****.

Be nice to all the other water users out there- doesn't matter what they're riding, because one day you might leave your comfort zone, grow some balls and travel to a new kiting destination where you're not a local and a big fish in a small pond. You would want some respect from all the other local polies (and kiters) out there!

How long have you punks been "Local" anyway? about 1 year I'm guessing... is that all it takes to own a place??

Spacemonkey! said...

At Fozzy and HiFliya, if you can find one negative post of mine saying windsurfers can't ride there or that I own the spot I will give you a 6 pack of beer. I have stated several times that they can ride there but its not as good for windsurfing as they would like to think, shallow and wind protected on the water. Also that ideally they would be doing in stronger winds than we normally ride in anyway so its not a big deal.

Also I just stated that it isn't a good spot for begginer kiters because it is offshore duh...

Get a grip. We are on the same side. I got bulk negative comments for saying that I actually ride everyday almost and am not just a forum bitcher, whats the go with that.

I didn't look very hard.

Also not everyone is welcome at woodies, if you show respect and follow the rules however you are fine.

Just out of interest when the select few who are welcome gain entry, where do they go to find the rules. Did you have them drawn up or was it a collaborative effort by the "crew"?

If you can send a voucher that would be Ace, I don't want to risk the bottles breaking in the post.

Spacemonkey that's about as much time and effort I'm going to put into this as I think we are digressing from the topic at hand and you and I will inevitably go around and around in circles. If you think that's egg on my face then you are more than welcome to claim a victory.

My point all along has been that whether you guys like it or not everybody has as much right to ride there as the next person. I will concede that you aren't as vehement on this "locals crew" BS as your offsider Carbine but you still try to push the same message. It's water brother, and it ain't yours anymore than it is mine.

Ride on it and enjoy, as everybody has the right to do.

i have no problem with people riding woodies as long as they follow the rules and have a little bit of respect.

i've never had a problem with windsurfers and am usually the first to start warning other kiters when a poley is starting a speed run.

just get a little pissed when i have to go through the drama i did the other day. it seems like a recurring event. Someone has to make a bit of a stand. yeah im a bit excessive. But its the internet, take everything with a grain of salt. Maybe if some people take at least a little bit of what i say on board it will make the spot a bit safer and work a bit better then what it is on certain days.

its not sustainable. even more so with whats happening at coogee.
