Poledancers come from a sailing background and most kiter come fro a surfing background.
Thats gotta be the biggest load of bull**** Ive heard in a long time!!!!!
Most kiters around here have no idea of the surf rules or etiquette or even simple right of way or "do the right thing" rules. The kiters who come from a windsurfing back ground are the exception, they are fine and we co-exist.
Like Peto said, Its the "look at me" (like most jetski drivers) that give the bad name.
Most of the windsurfers I know and sail with come from a surf back ground and know the unspoken rules, its a beach thing. If they dont, they soon learn and are either told or shown.
Let it blow, give us a break!!!!!
Thats in NSW maybe,where it gets over 20knots maybe 2 days a year.
In WA there are only a couple of old dancers that can actually botom turn and carve off the lip,they have a surfing background.All the other are just out for a sunday arvo cruise around the bay.
They all know there port and star bull crap,and think it is the same in the waves.
They cause all sorts of problems,then say they are in the right because they are following sailing rules not surf/wave riding rules.
We are slowly clueing them in,
some are cool and keen to work in,
but most are way too old and set in their ways.
Here are 5 ways to know if your a old pole dancer.
Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt doesn't work.
You look forward to a dull evening.
You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
Your knees buckle, and your belt won't.
Your Pacemaker makes the garage door go up when you see a pretty girl.
^^^^^^ha ha ,,,oh,,,I like the last one.
