If he landed it on the beach, there would be a vitriolic post here about the fkhead noob blah blah who landed on a swimming beach and how all the bans are due to idiots like him etc etc

If he pulled the safety with swimmers around and one person felt a line brush them, it would be just like above.

Tough crowd this one..... nobody in this forum has ever found themselves downwind with no way to get home?
If so, what would you have done if there was swimmers everywhere, a cafe, lifeguards scowling at you, and 10 million bucks worth of (dumb) art exhibition on the beach?

get a clue as to which part of the beach he was on . Nowhere near sculptures by the sea or lifeguards.

Believe it or not you can fly a kite on land. The world wont end.

true? you've obviously never been to cottesloe. or read the WA section of this forum.

maybe doesn't even know where WA is ?

west-west island?

hehehe....

I'm a Cott local and this blew my mind...

You do not fly your damn kite across a busy street.

Pull the safety and self rescue.

Holy fkn hell!!

This is without doubt the most stoopid and selfish thing I have seen in ages!!! (and there is plenty of competition)

There is no excuses for this by any stretch of imagination.

Priorities all @ss up:

Don't want to rish wetting/damaging kite..
so I will walk up the beach, accross the always busy road..
attempte weave through and avoid streetlights/cars/trees/punters/dogs..
just so my precious kite doesn't get a rinse!!


TOTALLY KN WRONG!![}:)] No kite new/old/exxy/cheap is worth that risk - especially not to others!

There is not a face or a palm big enough to do this clown's action justice.


For the record I would have helped him land - but made the stoopid/selfish prik walk home!!

Time to think may have helped the connection between his brain and his surroundings.


EDIT:
Argument for registration - identification sure to follow this nice fellows actions..[}:)]

I do not necessarily agree with what the kiter did but I stopped as this was blatantly dangerous for everyone involved and either he needed some educating or some help!! This situation, he needed some help.

After a chat, I ended up giving him a lift back to his downwinder rendezvous point in Swanbourne. Nice bloke and seemed like an experienced kiter.

Jono - can you shed any light on how this experienced kiter managed to need assistance so far from the beach??

If that is a Rebel (dunno about Fuse) surely pulling the 5th line would have sorted him and should have been choices 1-99999999999 before taking the scenic route through busy Cott became a viable option??

Putting it over the water and releasing completely should also have been in the idiot's mind well before his stroll thru traffic???

Need a new word to describe the level of idiocy here. Stoopid, selfish, coont, tool, fkwit etc only seem to be scratching the surface..

^^ You spelt grammar wrong.

What did the CHICKEN say to the KITER before he crossed the road?

Don't do it cause you'll never hear the last of it!!!

would have to go close

sheesh .A while ago I flew my kite down hunter St the main street of Newcastle and no one noticed or cared less (cause no one was there)

"Dude, why did the kitesurfer cross the road?"

"Wow Man, to get to the other tide."

Apparantly he is a male model and gets heaps of puss.......so he is a winner

Fixed it for ya...

Realistically though, looking from an outside perspective with litle to no inside information about the incident or the decision making process that lead to it....

You can't blame people for getting up in arms about someone walking a kite down a busy street (even if they had great kite control) as these sorts of bad decisions are made so often by people who werent in bad situations and who then get our sport in the headlines for the wrong reasons.

I would apologise to the bloke for us jumping to conclusions if he was in a bad situation and an experienced kiter however he could admit to making a bad judgement call (if that was the case) because we all do make mistakes.

I don't apologise however for my "weiner" crack... dude... youre a male model!!! expect to get some crap about that! ..... Subtext: (lucky bastard)

Nothing like a good old fashioned head explosion

You guys love to hide behind your little club and its rules

The WAKSA crew are out there in person doing good stuff for us all - even for wankers like you - to get the benefit of.
The only one hiding here is you with your 7 posts and your anonymous slagging.
Not just a dipshiit but not even man enough to put a name or face to your stupidity.
Where does the 80 come from - ur IQ would be a good bet.

And now another one pops up. The anonymous phatman of no posts. What sort of miserable person is it that claims to have an opinion but is too weak and gutless to admit to it. Phathead would be more appropriate.

Sooooooooooooooooo many goodie two shoe morons on this forum.....I can see why it has been so long since I last contributed...

Losers

Why revive a dead thread? To praise the guy for apparently being pretty? Totally ignoring the homoerotic nature of your post, it's no wonder you don't contribute much because if that's the best you've got to add you're going to get shot down every time.
