Yes gruezi I think you make sense.
What you said has definitely made me think about some of the things that get me worked up. We all need to take a chill pill sometimes. It`s usually not as bad as we make it out to be. Just hope some of the people watching what we get up to think the same.
Always cabs. This one was also an experienced kiter (10 years or so). He admits that he was "daydreaming". It happened in Mauritius.
brief related question:
Where near Melville (wrote Melvin b4) Beach can I stay?
I couldn't find any hostel.
Any advice?
Cheers,
Alex
^^Just go up and down Melville parade knocking on the mansion doors....lots of lonely unhappy people living there who would even pay for company.
Well I know of one person.
Back on topic all girls and wankers. Melville city council has put signs up finally..... After a commitment from them in March last year. I wonder how many locals have spotted them. They are tiny little signs on the back of the "no standing/parking on verge signs located sparsely on the street. many guys continue to gybe right on the shoreline and the bouys have made very little difference to people's behaviour.
many people are still teaching their "mates" in the area upwind of the competent group and most of the "locals" are sick to death of being kite-police as they just want to have a chilled ride and not be abused.
This is not a local issue as we see whats happening at mullaloo. It is in everyones interest everywhere to discuss reckless behaviour with the people concerned. Kiters have a very different perspective on the safety of the sport compared to the general public and that has to be recognised as we dont ban locations.......
Let's all stop the blame game euros, touros, locals, experienced Vs kooks. One of the most proactive riders at melville who has sadly left and gone back to Newcastle was Michelle (Nick and Michelle) you guys will be sadly missed. If a chick has the balls to say something we could all grow some.
Look I gotta say an earnest "Ha Ha!".
No hurt intended, but if you land your kite in a tree you are a bit of a muppet, I dont care how experienced you are. Definitely your shout at the pub dude.
The worst bit about it is I just bought a cab and feel like I joined a kook club! Anyways I am used to fuels so Ill just see if I can ride it like one of those, just hope the kook-ness isnt contagious! Watch out trees, powerlines, smaller shrubs, families and wedding parties on the beach! Imagine crashing your kite into a groups of bridesmaids........ kinda sexy in a sick sort of way
Simple fix - put up a huge mother f***er of a sign on the tree that says "this tree eats kites", then watch all the kites get munched by the sign not the tree from no on... 
PS: If you kite long enough no matter how good you are you will put a kite on the road / trees / etc. at which point you should rightly feel like a muppet. However if you find yourself (or others) doing it regularly maybe it's time to find a new sport...
