ROSEBUD TODAY

2 kites in trees, meter's from the power lines & 1 almost kitemare...(dude u did well to control a highly hospital outcome - level mind, & control made it only a head scratch -hope ur neck & back is ok mate)..

Plz note kiteboarding is an extreme sport not a Sunday leisurely bike ride.

And I didn't find the slab of beer for helping Team Best recover the kite from the tree....Huh $40 worth only not a $1800 kite torn to shreds... But hey will always help a kook in need.

For all who don't know that there is a power line within 30meters from the shore to the west of pathway to beach... Plz be aware now.

Safe kiteboarding, for all beach users, and don't be embarrassed to ask for help or advise.

All that being said, mad day at the beach.

Peace & Hang Loose

Just a general thanks to the dudes who do help learners out. It is appreciated.

Everyone starts from zero, so thanks to the people who see someone starting out and offer some assistance.

I used to do the same for windsurfing, if I saw someone struggling a bit I’d go over and if the advice was welcomed give them some tips, and it’s great to see a similar culture here in kiting.

Great to know your selfless.
Helping is about helping not looking for something in return- thats business.

So advertising stuff for the Zu is that selfless or business?

Tomme,

I helped both of the unlucky guys get their kites out off the tree.

One said thanks very much and was sincerely thankful, the other was more worried about their Bluetooth head set than even saying thanks (& i knew that he was from a commercial operation....selfless cutting up my leg on the tree & spending 15mins helping even tho i was about to hit the water...hmmm that's why i joked & said its worth a slab for my efforts).

But hey ur loss as other people know whom I'm talking about.

I'll always be polite, offer help and advice to all whom are in need...done it for year's & will continue to do so.

What goes around comes around.

Have a good day, live ur dreams & Hang Loose.

Such a shame work got in the way, weather looked awesome for kiting.

First warmer days with good winds, sounds like a few cobwebs are being blown out of a few people. Glad others were there to help out and no serious injuries for anyone.

Does GoKites webcam record or only live stream? Could get some good "action" shots.

Passive aggressive....

Blame shifting & trying to remove guilt & embarrassment Tomme grow up mate.

Paul & Ivan would be a little bit taken back as they are the complete opposite of your lame attitude.

Was nice to meet u Lad.

Im not sure what the aggro is about, i was only trying to say that it is important to help people out not ask for something in return- this sport is dangerous, people need help sometimes.

I once had a kite caught on a powerline (had set up my safety incorrectly), a passerby who told me he was a windsurfer offered to help me take it down. I offered him $50 for his time but he wouldn't take it.

Another time a bloke called me after finding my kiteboard and seeing a poster I put up offering a $100 reward, I gave him the money but he wouldn't take it but I insisted so he did.

Never asking for something in return but sometimes a sincere thanks or can I buy you a beer.

Nah its a sweet spot, as long as you look out for the homeless bloke living in his car, the dog **** scattered all over the beach, used condoms in the launching area and of course the tiger snakes.... the urchins and stinky mud is least of your worries!

Those "good bits" of the thread were bloody amusing - always good when someone cuts through the bull and says it how they see it.
Gotta love a good ruffling of feathers!

Like others round here, I'm not a big fan of censorship.
It ruins the flow of a thread when posts are deleted/edited/moderated.
It is the Internet - and there are eyes everywhere.

Bring back "ClaimPoliceV", I say!!!

+1 I am sick of these undercover pimps shadowed by cronies (sorry "sponsors") who then squeal to moderator once they're exposed

Mr Potter do you need a more simplified explanation? Have a look at this one
