Hey Silviu that hurt cause Im a long time fan of yours. Sob! Sob!
You know if the wind is on somewhere Im there whatever. Im not waiting for someone else to organise me, organise something for me to do.
For every competition theres a winner and a heap of loosers, they all got to sit on the beach all day waiting for there heats watching everyone else ride waiting there turn.
My aims are
1. Have fun
2. Spend more time on the water
3. To progress and learn new stuff
4. Find new equipment that helps with points 1,2 and 3.
I figure then 3 and 4 is all I need help with.
Here then is my 2 cents:
Demo/come and try days supported by the lazy reps who try to sell their gear in shops based on how shiny the board is and whether the guy behind the counter liked it!
A noobie club to support the guys who have had their 2 lessons and then are unleeshed on the public beaches of victoria.
Intermediate clinics, including public safety, rules and where not to try tricks.
Introduction to wave kiting, who has right of way etc
Social weekends away to kite new beaches.
These things could all be offered at a price or as part of an increased yearly fee.
If i want to go down wind i will thanks anyway.
And I prefer riding with my mates not against them!
