From WAKSA, the Western Australian Kiting Association     

It seems that kiters are again creating angst with some SLSC officials at Mullaloo. The waksa crew recently sacrificed themselves to check the place out first hand one windy afternoon. What a sweet way to prepare for a meeting.

For those who know the area, Mullaloo foreshore, north of the SLSC - offers an ideal kite beach. Unless it is a very high tide there is a reasonably wide, straight, flat beach which can and does accommodate a solid crew of local kiters. If we loose this one we stand to loose a lot more. Apart from some apparently serious objectors within the Surf Club all would have to agree that this area has to be considered prime kiting real estate. There is nothing here that warrants bans. It would be a seriously bad precedent to loose this one. We must put our full effort in maintaining access at Mullaloo.

We have brochures being printed to hand out to all kiters visiting the area. We will also have large posters up in prominent locations, esp at the AKS trailer at Pinnaroo, giving guidelines particularly for those downwinding from Pinnaroo Pt.

The local beach user group in conjunction with the local school; Kite Boarding Perth; is providing all the relevant info and will be actively distributing leaflets and talking to all possible newcomers. AKS will be doing all they can to educate Pinnaroo kiters of the Mullaloo situation. WAKSA is providing full backing to these groups.

Check the waksa website for downloads of both the brochure & the posters. And please respect the guidelines, the clubbies and the public when kiting anywhere around the Pinnaroo/Mullaloo area.
