hey hobie you can choose to ignore this issue no problem, I think maybe it is a relative issue, lets say a few swimmers complain to the lifeguards at any of our beaches about the dangers of a windsurfer heading towards them, near the flags or not, Im sure the swimmer's argument will win, and maybe, we cop the same punishment? slim chance but you never know.
I just thought for the reading of local windsurfers it is a valid article to post.
