***Woodman Point Offshore side is not a place to even consider going unless you can competently ride upwind, water launch and self rescue.***

This follows after a guy today on a Crossbow attempted to ride there when he wasn't able to plane for more than 2m at a time. Nautrally he drifted out to sea, which isn't why I am angry. The reason is because after he drifted out for a bit he started making his way for the jetty and crashed. At this stage the barge was trying to dock and had to stop for about 5 minutes while he drifted past. Having to dodge kiters is a good way to get us banned, so please do us all a favour and pick a different beach. For your safety and for the safety of our sport. Hopefully this time the message gets through instead of just blamming woodies kiters with red thumbs just beacue they are trying to protect their spot.
