Just reading the waksa newsletter and noticed no kiting at beach 3 during the world sailing championships. From the 3rd - 18th December

what a pain in the ass

Ha!
Arrogant Euro sailors preventing access for arrogant Euro kiters. The pond will be even more packed.

Beach 3 is my local and I can tell you now I will be riding there during the duration of the event. I seriously doubt they will be inside the reef anyway.

I was riding last summer when they where running some test races on the courses as outlined in the PDF.

The course markers where well offshore from beach 3 around a K or more.

Shutting down Perths best flat water spot for a bunch sailors is not going to go down well amongst the people that wait all winter for this spot!

Not just a bunch of sailors, but the world's best sailors...

It probably won't be so much the racing but the beach access. Standard regatta format is to run one race in the morning, then have a lunch break, then in the afternoon. The guys will probably lay up their boats on the beach between races.

I don't think you'll be permitted to go in the water.

Imagine being responsible for a team not qualifying for the olympics because your safety broke and your kite got tangled in a keel.

Still at least you'd get on the news.

Where will the Leighton Beach kiters go? The northern border of the north exclusion zone is Cable Station. Dutch is going to be crowded!

See you at Beach 1. Id love to see you hit some kickers with your boots on, god knows Ill never see you on a surfboard!
Come on Sci, there are little spots with great kickers and flat smooth landings, otherwise Ive always got a spare surfboard

Confirmed. There was a big sign at the carpark showing the restricted zone on Sunday and a story in The West Australian about it four days earlier. Ban is 8am-dusk from Woodys up to Cable Station and about 5km offshore.

gees guys quit your moaning. its for three weekends....

It is another wind powered watersport like ours. Support the way that Fremantle Sailing Club and Perth is supporting these events to get over 700 competitors from round the world to an event in our part of the world.

If this goes well it could really help our sport as well. If a few D*&^ heads go out and cause disruption it just gives councils more ammunition to get kite surfing banned.
