edit > 7:30 tonight - repeated at 12 noon Saturday if you are busy tonight.
Has some (reportedly awesome) WA footage from Shannons new Ben Wilson kite movie "Coming Together".
I watched the noon repeat show of Stateline while having my lunch. ^^^
I saw Puppet on TV rigging up his weapon.
Once again WAKSA is on a mission...........
a mission to maintain permanent access for kiting on public beaches.
The WAKSA General battles the insurgents on the beach-head.
He promises victory if you buy his brand of insurance.
lol.
I also saw Reg of Windsurfing Perth on TV.
The long established pole-shop that went to the darkside, a foot in both camps.
Reg told the viewers that kites are like trucks on the freeway.....
and that trucks should always remain downwind of........errrrr cars/poleys I guess.
lol.
Which is interesting cause just the other day I was spreading out my wife's 5m waroo kite on the grass getting ready to pump it up.....
and a poley was rigging up next to me on the grass too, outhauling and downhauling his 5.2 sail.
I looked at both and figured that this could be a perfect time to do a size comparison between a kite and a windsurfing sail.
Size for size, one over the other.
And guess what ?
They might have a different shape, but the length, width and area were about the same.
So my wife's kite is not a truck, more like a sportscar.
But getting back to the WAKSA General and his troops......
If you want to win this fight, there's only one war strategy that has a chance.
And that's downsizing the troops......
Instead of a battalion invading the beaches, a guerrilla force of kiters would be better.
But WAKSA promotes the growth of membership so WAKSA is really the enemy.
