It can be quite dramatical here at times and a little bit bitchy, that much is true.
I was on the beach that day and didn't get involved at all(or here mostly), I didn't know who you were kitesRfun but I did notice the beginner on a 9m Naisi in 30knt winds, and an ambulance rock up on the beach because either one of you were knocked out from biting it in the sand...wtf????
Please listen to advice, it is for your own protection and ours no one is trying to be arrogant or rude, they are there because that beach is our local and important to us we have been squashed to a selected quadrant and are not about to lose the last little bit of kiteable beach left because someone is behaving like an absolute idiot.
You need an attitude correction and to gel with other people within this sport, or you will find yourself removed from most beaches by it's locals.

Wow! Came to this late.

Tighty is a stand up guy (strapless even

) and not one of the know-it-all types around.

If he stepped in it was very likely to your benefit and not to posture/ruin your day. It's hard to ask for help with a mouth full of sand after a face plant.

Apparently we all like kiting and share the same interests.. apparently.

I haven't read all of this thread but if you're a frustrated learner who's copped more stick than you deserve, I have a solution.

Take a case of beer down to the beach. Introduce yourself to the local crew. Your jesture will smooth any future antagonism. You'll get to talk kiting, tips and traps with like minded people over a beer, who can offer good advice.

In extreme cases, pizza is also required.
