Being all for self-regulation, as I am, doesn't mean we should let it run riot.
I think we should take a leaf out the WA Safety Bay action - sign post a few water regulations and common courtesy rules on every groin. It wouldn’t take much to put a sign with Graphics advising Kitesurfers of where they should launch / kite and the right of way rules.
I think that if it is posted with graphics, just like WA have done, it would greatly reduce the common excuse "I can't read English" bulls***t", and at the same time create an environment where etiquette should be observed.
We all know there is very little margin for error in our sport, especially for newbie’s. Providing some guide rules would benefit everyone including those that can self-regulate.
Besides, swimmers have flags and signs advising where it is safe to swim and even the conditions of a particular beach. When I arrive at a completely new location I look around to orientate myself. If there was a sign telling me what are the best places for rigging and riding I would feel a lot more comfortable in going out and I am sure anyone that first arrives at a new location would too.
This sport is still in its infancy and is forecasted to grow exponentially> we have no choice but to regulate eg.. as much as I hate conditioning just imagine if we didn't have road rules/traffic lights etc
. Now, a few decades ago they weren't necessary but slowly became so with the increase of cars on the road.
I guess we'll have to blame Australia for being a kitesurfers paradise. Everyone wants to participate and so do we, but not everyone is able to self-regulate.
There you go.. my 32 cents. I'm feeling rich
