I fortunately have not found the same level of ignorance where I live.

30 God damned tourists on a summer Sunday when it's cranking that don't bother to observe the rotation at the pond ****ing it up for everyone.

Wait a second, that's not funny at all. In fact it royally pisses me off.

Is that 30 tourists who won't join the rotation? 30! It wouldn't help if they did.
Or is it 30 tourists who are kiting in your pond and you would rather they went somewhere else?

Everyone is welcome provided they observe the local rules. I didn't think it's too much to ask. It's always going to be a crowded spot but it doesn't have to stop functioning if people just observe the rotation.

You said they are tourists ,so how would they know your local rules if they arnt locals ,they are Probly on holiday and just having a ball

Weve had some fisherman put a string of crabpots in the main part where 10-15 kiters were already kiting, just rolled in, in the tinny and started throwing pots in everyones way, then proceded to anchor up a little down wind and throw out a line....got nasty when the kiters started kiting close and spraying them with water and verbal. Funny when they realized they're being dumb grabbed pots and left

Dolls Point in Sydney - always amusing.

Apatheticend,sounds like you've just got too many people in one spot, and it'll just get worse as the sport is the fastest growing watersport and your population in Perth is growing, maybe look elsewhere now and then , personally I don't mind tourists kiting at our local spot , usually many of them are better kiters than us, we get out there have a ball and usually have a beer with them and talk s..t , on many occasions guys from Perth come up , do they introduce themselves no , do they ask about local rules no, cause we don't have any, in my uneducated view if we've gotta go through all that stuff just so we can have a kite, the sport will be dead
And maybe you'll have your spot all to yourself

Booh yeah!!!!!!

Why point out that they were Afrikaans (thats how its spelt by the way)... If its a whingy post about newbies..why not just whinge about newbies instead of pointing out nationality as if you have some kind of agenda...

best thing I saw was a learner who had finished his session and was watching the more experienced riders from his car parked on the beach. He jumped out to do the righty as someone was having difficulty landing their kite just past his car. He jumps out, wearing his towl of course and lands the kite. No dramas! Forgot to put the park brake but didnt he!!! next thing ya know the guy is sprinting towards his car as it heads toward the ocean! LOL


. . . . . .oh wait, that was me! hahahah ooops
