Hi Guys,
We are "the instructors with the microphones on our heads" and we work on the beach everyday. Most of the kiters know us but during this time of year the locals and regulars make up only about half of the numbers.
It's still silly season and I think that last weekend was one of the worst as heaps of people went back to work and they were getting in their last water time before going back to the daily grind. Loads of people desperately tryig to crack staying upwind meant unusually large numbers of people walking with shame. This works as long as everyone stays in the rotation and take their turn but not everyone respects this scenario and feel they can do as they please and in the process inconvenience everyone not just us.
The unofficial areas are dogs off leashes south of the point, kiters from the point down to the access road onto the beach, windsurfers are 100m further north at the first walkway and a further 100m north is the start of the jet ski area. Problem has been when the wind comes in late that even jet skiers hate jet skiers and tend to keep away from each other and nestle into our zone, windsurfers get lonely and come up to be in the community feel of the point and then we have our school in the midst.

It's all good again now, everyone back at work the beaches are sane again

, until next weekend

I think by the various postings that it is the same all over the country at all of the kite beaches .... except Esperence where you have to fight off 12 foot sharks in muddy brown water in no wind after fighting through crowded beaches with no swell.

Good winds and thank god the silly season is over.
