He is on to it...not laying down from what i have read on fb....watch this space i think.

yer i recon it all stems back to that yankie tv series "L.A. LAW"

remember that classic

since then everyone thinks its cool to sue each other

then the next culpert was "desperate house wives"

who knows the true damage that will unfold from that show years down the track

Has anyone actually heard who the winning tenderer was?

Yup very sad what TV does....Suprised that a local born and raised (not sure) gets displaced.

too funny teatrea

now that is funny

so going to pull that one out one day

gold....hahahahahahah.....

cheers revvin

Thats BS,Chris was the very first person I had ever seen on a sup and that was way before any of us knew what the sport was.

Total BS sorry I just load wankers who know sweet f all and make the decisions that effect the livelihood and well being of others

Same thing has happened to all the kite schools and all the surfing schools on the Sunny Coast.

All comes down to one person on the council and her wacky idea of what she thinks will work.

Knuckleheads

So can anyone comment on who actually won the tender? I have read 3 or 4 stories and none mention the company who won or why. No doubt Woogie and Chris are the most credentialled but who is the other party? Perhaps it would help people to lobby council if it was clear???

Surely the actions of the council are anti competitive. I would inform the ACCC...a long shot but worth a go.

Can anyone link to the tender documents? It will publish the selection criteria.

To a certain extent this is what you get when you insist on completely fair and open government. You waste huge amounts of time writing tenders that are fair and impartial and unambiguous and cannot be challenged. Lots of spreadsheets and weighting factors and evaluation panels and review processes. If the tenderer meets all the criteria and gets the best score then you are obliged to award the contract.

I'm guessing there is no criterion that says you must be a "...legend and seriously credible waterman and popular in the local industry".

The awarded tenders are listed here:

Looks like the tenders were not successfully concluded and council negotiated with the unsuccessful tenderers.

In every contest there's a winner and a loser - theres always a reason why the loser should have won and vica versa - but in the end you got suck it up and get on with life - as Malcolm said - life wasn't meant to be easy.
