Awesome can we get one for Dutchies where there was a great voluntary segregation thing going on..... and now kiters are gradually mixing in with the windsurfers for no apparent reason (probably lack of knowedge, but not hard to figure out when everyone else is 100m downwind )

The other day there was a kite learner there, and as a beginner of course he runs downwind about 45 deg all the time. Starting off near the groyne and then getting dragged right across all the windsurfers' reaches.... right across the only 2 keyholes we can come and go from. Then walks back 100m or so and does it again and again. Knob head....... no excuse as his obviously experienced kiter mate was with him

Not sure how well this will work, the pond is such a small
area with a high volume of traffic. I find most are courteous
(kiters) its only the rare one that cause's a problem, trying
to excecute a jump over the top of people.

Suppose time will tell.
