Hey RPM,
Fair call, understand what you're saying. The purpose of this page is not to be exclusive and it's not about us being special or anything like that. Rather, it's just that there aren't as many gals as guys at the beach, and a page such as this puts us in contact with each other. Also, I've found the newbie gals I've chatted to really like having a female learning buddy to ease the nerves - this keeps them in the sport, too many gals were trying kiting and then dropping out because they didn't want to go to kiting on their own (this page helps with the hookup for that). And finally, us gals chat about different stuff at the beach to you guys, yes we like chatting about kiting but also chat about other girly stuff.

Cheers

ps the idea for the page actually came from a guy to help keep gals in the sport

The 'Brisbane Women's Kitesurfing' facebook page was recently created to put Brissy kiting gals in touch with each other. It's a place where we can swap contact details etc so we can hopefully meet up at the beach, learn together, go on downwinders together etc.

Ladies, if you haven't checked it out yet, jump on and check it out. Gentlemen, please let your ladies know about it...

Just wondering why chicks (who like to be treated as equals and not discriminated against ect ect) seem to have the need for clubs/facebook pages for girls only??

There is the same kinda thing here in Perth which seems kinda lame.. Us guys just mix with everyone as per AKSA and state KSA's. Same goes for Seabreeze.. On the beach chicks like to be one of the boys so why the need for special pages and clubs? I don't get it.. But if chicks want to be classed as 'special' then I refuse to pick up anymore girls lost boards from out the back.



Discuss perhaps?

RPM Really? What part of 'chicks organising times to go out on the water to improve their skills...' is a womens rights issue!

I may be wrong, but I havnt seen another FB page where people can go and organise times to hit the water!

I know I live an hour from my best beach here in SEQ.. so any communication I can get with fellow kiters is a blessing! Male or female..

Well done to the chicks who set this page up. And be sure to let me know if someone else takes the same initiative (male or female) and sets up another page where hookups can be organised!
