I will at least give you cred waxman for not hideing behind a fake profile but do not agree with some of your comments. I was at the wakestyle nationals last year and had a ball even though I am not a competition rider. George really did do a good job under a lot of adverse pressure. Anyone who tries to host and hold events like this seem to get boof heads like yourself criticising. Reading between the lines with peoples posts on this thread is starting to concern me. I predicted it two years ago and hoped I would be wrong but unfortunately kiteing seems to be going the way of surfing with beginners being frowned upon and brand snobbs thinking they are better than others. I dont know how many can remember the surf wars through the 80's. It wasnt pleasent and did not do the sport any good at all. Yes there should be a elemant of localism but please dont let kiteing head down this track. I hated pulling teeth out of my knuckles (not a joke). Lets prove me wrong and keep kilteing social and friendly. We have enough wolves stalking our sport like marine safety and some councils. Save your well directed rage for the real fights.
All good points, but from my point of view no matter weather it be a good or bad comment people should just take it as feedback and not as a attack. With some not so good feedback organisers of the event are going to make it even better. Even the best events can be made better year to year, no matter how you run a event you are never going to please everyone, everyones experience at the same event may vary, so i cant see how you can shoot downs some ones view when there experience may have differed from yours.
I do think the next event will be bigger and better, and i think the organisers will put in a huge effort to make it a success.
As far as a brand war, kiters just need to learn to enjoy it and stop being pussys. If you want to see what i mean look at Australia's biggest brand war - holden v's ford. You guys should head up to Bathurst and check out the fun people can have with it. Not to many pussys there.
