just reading through some of these posts and there are some good ideas out there (and some not so good -!kiting marshalls!?!
)its encouraging that many of you are for self regulation,I think its the way to go and a great way to improve kitings image,having said that it bothers me that even with the accidents(they have been in the news) that have happened lately you still get joe public going to an area where there is clearly a lot of kiters out there riding and they insist on swimming or diving in that area.The mentality that "this is my beach too and i`ll swim here if i want" compromises the safety of everyone,it`s a two way street.Signs in kiting areas warning of the dangers to the public and beach users would probably go a long way to giving people on the outside a bit of info on the potential risks,but you can`t stop the idiot factor ,no matter what you do you cannot make it 100% safe ,but if everyone pulls their head in (joe public & bikie kiters too
) and works toward the same goal we can make it better and safer for everyone!
i could rant on all day about this **** but i think everybody has the same ideas blah blah blah!
kite safe!
