i have been going up north(small town about 100klm) to kite for a while now but am beginging to have problems with the person who hires wind surfing epquipment on the beach.it has started last year as more and more kiters turned up on his turf and he has personallly taken offense it seems.i have been verbally abused and have seem him do the same to others.have seem him punch someone who was doing wrong in his eyes..has any one else had these troubles as i do not believe i am the cause of all this grief..
he is willing to profit from the hire of kiting epquipment but personally hates us.maybe explains the type of person am dealing with..
there is no kiting activities allowed in the park anymore and he has taken it upon himself to police this but i do not think shouting "piss off piss off"is the best way to do this but each to their own i say..
i wrote this to let you know what is happening and warn you that if for some reason you are being waved at and shouted from the beach our community policman is at work..and if you happen to be a council member for the shire of gin gin please take at look at the goings on down the beach.i know he is there to help the tourists and bring money into the community but maybe this is not the best way to go about it..

I was recently in WA on holidays and got to Lancelin to see a kitesurfing prohibited sign posted in the rigging park. I even took a photo of it because I thought how stupid that was, there is nothing on the sign to say its official- i.e it does not say by order of the council or what the penalty is etc. I asked Werner where to rig etc and for someone who you'd think would welcome tourists he was really rude and told us to go down the little track off to the side of the park to the "carpark". I didn't think someone would bull**** me and ended up getting stuck in the sand from this ****ers advice as he could see we were in a campervan. He thinks he owns the joint and even the lady at the caravan park told us how much of a tosser he is. Werner your a tosser and should take a good long walk in the house of mirrors, more tourists mean more business for everyone you idiot, so take that stick outta your ass and start building harmony not division. Of course your welcome to go back to Germany if you dont like the fact that Aussies get on regardless of what sport they are into you goose!

man there is fn kilometres of empty beaches
why be a sheep and want to kite with 20 others plus any d**khead polers
use your imagination
that the advantage of the kites
and u dont need a 4wd
plenty of options even around lano, back beach, northern beach etc

Couldn't we all pitch in and get someone to put a hit on Werner......spike his bratwurst or something

I saw him punch somebody last year too.....Either it was the same day or he does it often.

I say if he approaches you and his face is red and temples bulging then hit the fat pr#@k first.

There's so much space in this country it's a pity you see stuff like lancelin during the summer. I guess last weekend was the last time I go there. Packed. Even the poleboarders were fighting between themselves for the waves, dropping on each other.

Have to do some google earth to find other wave spots not to far. Any suggestions?

i came to that exact same conclusion back in my pole boarding days of the late 80's early 90's. most of the blowins have no idea of wave etiquette [}:)]

Look at www.gingin.wa.gov.au/ for more info - FLUMP; the Lancelin foreshore plan.

Kiting to be limited to northern beach and Back beach - yet to be enforced; with the number of beginner kiters up there already only a matter of time.

Hell guys, Abrolhos islands are only 60 km off gerro.......

a nice little warm up sail before blasting on the flat or ultimate uncrowded waves

then a little warm down on the way back

Ok, I fess up, I did it with a plane, but i will be there with anyone who wants to do it. How about you IY??

Nah ! Just go toeside for a spell and then switch back when your back leg recovers.
