Hi Guys

I sat in the meeting and it felt like a fair compromise. Beginners have to learn and this means we have some organisation to make sure both can co-exist. At the end of the day it means the beginners are confined to one area where we know where they are which makes things easier and safer.

No one says you have to come in at the top and disect yachts to get there, there will always be beginners (who are not going upwind) who get taken downwind and come in where the vegetation starts so thats also a landing zone. It just means that its preferably that you don't come in between a whole lot of people bodydragging which is probably not the safest thing to do either.

On the downside, there will be compromises from kiters, like the douche bags who like to kite through the beginners and body draggers and do their jumps and turns right next to shore (to show off to the one woman on the beach who actually couldn't give a ****) won't be able to do this anymore but hopefully this may help them realise that actually talking to women and not beating their chests like apes are probably more appealing anyway.

Thanks for the feedback but (as requested at the meeting) please tell this to the schools as they are not forum-friendly and dont check Seabreeze.

If you cannot do this in person while there, please use the email addresses listed earlier in the discussion thread.
