Oh my god! I cannot believe that one parking mistake has made so much anger and built up crap come out. Listen people, I'm a waterman - A person who respects that place and those who are in it as it brings peace. In my two years here I have seen only a few. WA is totally spoilt by it's wind and conditions, yet I see no one in winter riding or at sunset when the ambience is magic. I have been to locations all around the world in 9 years. You need to get out more. We have it so good here it sets such a high level of complacency It sickens me. Look! Sorry about the parking ok. I'm a peaceful guy, who lives by the water. I teach at the cross and try to keep the place safe and give advice when needed, but you'd know that if you bothered to talk to me. I feel like people really like to talk with confidence on the net and forums. What about face to face. Are we that bad here that we've lost the art of communication. I'm perplexed. Well done sir. A picture paints a thousand words. Probably more than that on a forum. Please redefine your reason for being out there as this forum wouldn't exist as we would all be communicating on the beach. Peace!!
Quite simply this IS about respect, respect for others.
You could have shifted your vehicle when you saw the car park fill up.
We were windsurfing until 7:45pm - sunset I believe, and you did not come back. If I knew who you were at the time I would have come and asked.
I feel for the people who left frustrated due to lack of available parking it was a great day on the water for those who could make it.
Peace - you will find me at Melville ask around.
Instead of advocating anger, how about solutions to this prob?
Would it be accepted if he took up 2 spaces by unhooking his trailer and parking beside it? (I'm sure there's a safe way to make sure it doesn't get pinched...)
Would this suit both parties?
[the disgruntled poleys & teabaggers]---allowance for 2 spaces, considering the fact that he's an instructor, and 'probably'
working, I guess he needs the trailer, also the fact that he's probably carrying gear for others?!?...
[said instructor]---would mean 'finding 2 spaces, and extra time moving trailer around, and securing it...
This doesn't solve the mystery of why 5 spaces were taken in the first place, but I'm guessing Mr. Rasta prob won't do that again...how about some form of resolution so this thread can have ran its course?
