As reported on the KBV site:

"On Tuesday 26th January 2010 a regular kiter at St Kilda was observed flying his kite over the beach while undertaking tricks along with flying his kite over young swimmers [kids 3 to 6 years of age] again very close to the beach. This was very near to the tents set up for the Australia Day SUP Competition.

This kiter is well known for pulling tricks very close to shore and regulalry crashing his kite on the shore. When approached on these matters he is either abusive or indicating he just does not care.

For information such that when he takes someone out on the beach KBV cannot say they were not advised of his unacceptable antics."



KBV replied:

The name of the kiter and the author of the incident report were removed from the report - but the kiter is a well-known for his less than considerate kiting attitude. He is also not a KBV member and is not (to the best of our knowledge) insured against public liability should and accident occur.

KBV lacks and authority to exercise any power over kiters other than to warn them of the potential consequences of their actions, and to support the appropriate authorities (City of Port Phillip, Parks Victoria, etc) should they wish to take action against him and others who behave in a similar manner.

KBV tries to make everyone aware of what is, and is not, acceptable kiting behaviour, and what safe practice and what good kiting etiquette is. For the sake of clarity, readers are also referred to the post on this forum entitled "Two areas to keep clear of at St Kilda" (www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=62417)

All that talk is just bull****, why KBV or others like PV, City of Port Phillip dont ask Water Police to take from time to time a ride along St Kilda Pier
on a windy day and fine those bloody idiots riding touch and go from the Pier,( those people are most likely to jump over kids as well), I do realize that riding Cabrinha is equell to having half the brain but I bet they understand $$$$$ and if one or more of them is fined $200 or $300 Cabrinha kites will not stick to the Pier as flys to **** anymore, problem solved, including small number of people riding other brands.

If you know who the rider in question is, can't you report his actions to the council and let them take action in the form of a warning or fines. You can report jetskis and I'm sure the council would be happier if we were proactive in self policing.

I'm not keen to dob in people but if it means preventing bans for people who won't listen, then maybe we don't have a choice.

From a previous post:

KBV WILL BE WORKING WITH PARKS VICTORIA AND LOCAL KITERS TO IDENTIFY THESE INDIVIDUALS IN FUTURE - THIS BEHAVIOUR IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FROM ANY KITER [REGARDLESS OF KBV MEMBERSHIP OR NOT] - KITERS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED MAY BE FINED BY THE LOCAL COUNCIL OR PARKS VICTORIA.


However no need to wait for KBV -anyone can call Parks Vic and make a report:

Ask for the "Ranger in Charge, North Port Phillip"

03 9397 4652 fax

The best way to prevent further incidents is to........

NAME and SHAME

( particularly in the case of a repeat offender)

Embarassment is the best prevention and self regulation is the key to remaining in favour with councils etc.......

I don't think they named you. They just mentioned a Slingshot rider so if it was you on the day, then you probably deserved it, if it wasn't you on the day, then don't assume they are talking about you.

Ancient Chinese Seabreeze Rule: NEVER TRUST what people post on their profiles, NEVER TRUST that people are really who they say they are - unless you know the people personally...

Apparently I am a gay activist living in China and dont know the difference between kitesurfing and driving a scratched Porsche - huh?

This is the "freedom for oppressed minorities" forum, right???

JR - if that were true then you would not have been able to enter the state titles or the nationals - at least you kite slightly better than you bullsh*(&*&t - we know who you are so the question is what are you trying to hide?? Perhaps feeling guilty that the report might have been about you???

On the topic:
1. of note: Dogs allowed off leash (Beware you dog-nappers)



and.. 2. every beach goer should wear a helmet.
further, the map shows: the kiting area goes all the way down to the pier and no speed restriction applies close to shore. If you have complaints about swimmers, overhead wires or weather, call Parks Victoria.

That's not too bad, is it?

BTW, just because dogs are allowed off their leashes doesn't make their owners any less responsible for their dogs actions. If your dog damages property, the owner is responsible for the damage.

The alleged dog napping allegedly took place because the owner allegedly failed to take responsibility for their dog's alleged actions. The kiter alleged held the dog until the owner allegedly fetched their alleged proof of ID from their alleged car so they could pay for the alleged damages to the alleged kite that crashed while the dog was allegedly off its alleged leash. (just covering myself in case anyone else threatens lawsuits)

Council is VERY CLEAR on the point of owners being responsible for their dogs (poop included).
