so ... a country with one of the biggest surf cultures in the world, is running a world series kite surfing event in australia... and it is sanctioned by... wait for it... world sailing

kiters are not definded as vessels like sailing craft in QLD, they are classed like surfers on surfboards. And that right there is just one good simple reason to buoycot this event. The ramifications of kiting being redefined as sailing in aussie are huge (apart from it being a lie)

Pack up your sailing tour and ship out.

Yeah dam those big corporate money hungry world tour guys coming here with dollar sign eye balls and thinking they can call us sailing vessels or not sailing vessels, don't they realise how angry we are and the ramifications of what they've done. Hang on, What are we angry about again.

Who cares who runs a kitesurfing event in Oz ..as long as there is one..K.A. run events are minimalistic...But K.A. like putting their approval on events put on by individual groups to promote K.A. and justify K.A.s existence...with little input by K.A...
