Politely asking, what is this Euro bashing all about? I happen to be from EU but dunno the situation in OZ. Is there a problem with the Euros?

Seems quite funny to me given the history of OZ. The Euro bashers on here must be Chinese or Aborigines I guess?

Na seriously, what's the thing with the Euros in OZ? are they smelly? Are they rich ****s who buy the best properties and get the good girls? Are they dumber than the average person? Fill me in. Not trolling.

And "camping" in beachside car parks (and over staying their welcome); kiting in/through flagged areas; and ignoring locals advice and rules; and leaving rubbish in car parks; AND ****ting in the sand dunes...

I see. Sounds like the old problem with people traveling on a budget. Quite common in EU as well.

Agree with sugarcube. Travel around euro (google 100 club oktoberfest) and you will see how bad australians are. Also the country pubs would suck without euros.

It's not always the guys on holiday causing problems, there have been numerous bad mannered kiters from Perth and over East disobeying local rules in town these past weeks.

Occasional euro issue on the east coast. Never any dramas with the lads from WA here for a punt

Funny how some dudes call it localism. Id call it common sense.

Having a dump at the local dunes tho, bit far. Havnt they heard of the aqua bog?

I like the better looking girlfriend theory a lot
And as an (ex)-euro I'd like to see some differentiation please. Don't want to be thrown into the same basket with some of the other euro countrymen
Otherwise they may start calling us asia-pacs over there

Eurobashing 101..Guten Morgen my Euro friend..

Firstly Euro's tend to smell, I strongly believe that Rexona should get into Kite boarding sponsorship. Next I'll move on to pooping in bushes behind the dunes, I still have no idea why this practice is so attractive to travellers from the northern hemisphere. Especially at Woodmans Point. I even busted a chick doing it once.. WTF

Moving right on to parking in disabled spots and stealing pumps..

I mean Euro's travel 12000 miles around the world, spend copius amounts of money on booze and disco biscuits and cant afford 30 bucks for a pump.

I have a fond memory of a german guy at Cottesloe one sunny afternoon after work a couple years back.. I was mowing the lawn back and forth through the windsurfing area and if my eye's didn't decieve me I catch someone going through my kite bag.. Now I'm not a fan of borrowing or lending so when I saw this take place I rode in and bailed him up.

'Hello mates' he said in a Luftwaffer Officer tone.. I said WTF are you doing going through my gear..

Zie german said "I borrow you pump" I said nope put it back. He said but I have no pump and I doing downwinder..

I said life is tough, Go see AKS they have a good selection of pumps.. He got lippy and I told him to combine sex and travel (F.O) and go buy a pump.

Also they tend to hit kite shops to demo gear without buying a thing. I know many retailers who have been stung by Frenchies with little more to show for it apart from a broken/ripped kite.

I don't think it's the Euro's specifically. It's anyone from out of town (or Country) who is basically anonymous and up for a good time. I've been guilty of it, and I've seen my fair share of blow in's at my local spot behaving badly. Tell em off - if it's really bad.

If they're doing something bad they usually know it, and have what I call guilty-dog-face. You know - that look the dog gets when it's been up to no good.

Aahhh I see. Perfectly understandable reasons for a solid bashing. I wasn't aware of the seriousness of the Euro misbehavior. I'll pass this on to your head of state to take care of the issue. She's English you know
