www.kiteboardingaus.com.au/events/23528/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.
