No kite rage in WA?
Pulled up to the gate to head to our favourite wave spot to find that some nice fellow/lady/windsurfer had written.."no fag kiters allowed at the Spot" My wife turned to me in silence, then we both answered together "I'm/Your'e not a fag" we both laughed and continued through.
I heard the story behind it once I got there. Apparently...(now that's a dangerous word) It was really busy on the Sunday and a kiter was absolutely killing it, top to bottom turns just ripping it up.
Someone's bottom lip began to sag as a result and out came the rage in the form of a red texta under the cover of secretiveness whilst quicky exiting through the gate before anyone could see.
Some people really need a hug out there. In the words of Fung Karl "where's the love?".
Was that at that place you took me and Richie to Gav?
A mate of mine was there a few days ago, he was riding a 9M Crossbow, and was having an absolute blast. Conditions were gusty 20 to 30+ knots, he kites for a few hours each days while guys were onIy lasting 15-30 mins on C shaped 8M kites. Locals were telling him he was boosting 50 footers, and he told me he was often looking down, like well down on windsurfers.
Asked if he got any vibe at the beach but he said everyone was chilled, and really cool, everyone wanted to know about the bows and how he got such great service and prices from Kitepower.
Kidding!
Pity some people like to "own" spots.

It's a corker of a time for all 
. Another thing which induces anger in some is poleboarders walking back up wind through the shallows, clogging up the zone.
