With all the restrictions as to where and where we cannot kite due to council regulations especially as they are concerned for the saftey of other beach users why is there not some kind of warning/education signs or basic rules as to how to avoid clashing with a kite/lines etc. I have witnessed on numerous occasions people attempting to negotiate lines as kiters are trying to launch or people setting up their spot on the beach where mulitple kites are being launched flown and landed totally oblivious to the possible dangers.
There are plenty of signs warning not to enter/ litter/ catch this or that fish/ walk dog off a leash none of which are life threatning(b depnding o the dog!) but not one sign to beware of kites or the dangers associated with the sport .
i was also surprised to see that not even the life savers know what is what when it comes to where kiting is allowed after being told i was not to fly my kite at Grange beach then confirmed by person in charge for the day. Does SAKSA have any communication with the elevant surf life saving clubs? Thanks

Guys we will be BANNED from Pelican Point if the following keeps up!

Anyone who was there between 1630HRS and 1730HRS please back me up if you saw the following happen there!

SSE winds GUSTING 22 - 30KNTS approx.

In the 20 mins I was on the setup grass area these things happened.

1. Italian tries to launch kite across cycleway people trying to walk past and one cyclist.

2. Coupla mins later a guy launches into the tree at takeoff.

3. Another Italian does a unhooked maneuver just enough to land on beach at launch area and lets his kite go and lands it in the trees just before roadway, as his kite hits tree a person walking under his lines had no idea he was saved by the tree cause that guys lines would have taken him out, the lines stayed about 10 foot above walkway!
This Kiter was doing ALL his tricks about 20 -30 M from grass launch area and going about 10M from the carpark!! He stuffed up 3 times just before the MAJOR balls up!

4. Regular Kiter from Pelican Point does a HUGE BOOST and lands into a WINDSURFER's sail 3/4 the way up! YOU KNOW WHO U ARE!!

5. Learner was doing his thing between the boats and the playground area, was stuffing up a lot of the time and coming back up wind he was about 10M from the carpark where the wooden walkway is.
Then the worst thing could happen, he took out another kiter in that area between the wooden walkway and launch area! He had the totally black kite 9M. He was saved just in time before his kite nearly ended up in carpark!!

6. Last thing I saw was another Kiter BOOSTING near a windsurfer and he landed min one metre away from him fell off his board then went into the power zone and was coming straight at the launch area and just saved it!

ALL this in 20 mins of watching!!

Geez I'm glad I've had 13 years of kiting cause the way were all going there WON'T be many spots to go to, it's getting to the stage where we will be governed like the JET SKIS and Water skiers! AREA set aside only for us and it will be a small spot or two!!

This was crazy stuff, I've read about these things happening here and there but due to the wind direction most of the ppl were down at this spot and mate it was scarey!!

I hope there weren't any rangers watching or people recording via cameras cause WE WILL LOSE THIS SPOT!!

WAKSA better have someone down there ALL this week as the wind direction and strength is the same all week!!

Regulars at this spot better start policing people or we will be going else where!

The RANGER has been watching us lately from the bird sanctuary and telling people to keep out of the yellow area !!

Let's all take care this week guys please as I love this great spot so close to PERTH!

I've asked a few people and got an idea, but I'm wondering if there are any maps of where you can and cannot kite around Adelaide? Don't want to piss of the wrong people, but would like to find out which beaches I can use that are close to my work for a late arvo session.
