Most of the people who sail around me are getting on in years, and are bit soft. I like the kite boys... I have never been run down, and if they are gumby I give them a wide berth. The Kite boys are always out when I sail, and I always say "Hi"

I spent a summer in perth, and it seems you guys are at war, but no one seems to know why. Ive been cut-off by windsurfers, but accidents hapen. If you dont want this... then go sail by your self.

i think its mostly becouse there are a small amount of kiters of think they are superior in every way and give windsurfing as much **** as possible, then in retern a smaller amount of windsurfers give it back. there for making a general disliking for each other.

but theres also thins like this that make us a bit against windsurfers: www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=24505

i myself as a kiter have quite alot of respect for windsurfers as ive seen some of the top stuff you guys can do especially in the waves, and understand how technical it all is.as much as i wish it could all be good there is always going to be a few people from each side who will never let it rest.

cheers, Leo

Stop kitin' with the "L" platers...

Ben, we are fortunate to have lots of room for both kiting and windsufing to share the waters. I am with you with the 'kiters have never given me grief' attitude, I love watching the tricks and am amazed everytime I see them. But in other parts of Aust and around the world where conditions might be a little more limited, areas smaller and more of both Kite and windsurfers in the water there are going to be collisions and incidents. It reminds me of the Surfers vs Bodyboarder issues from a few years back! Farken get over it, life is waaaaay too short to worry about ****!

i do, they're both the driving force of my life!

(and a bit of fishing )

yah, i think its just revving each other up... cus who could even think of saying pole dancing is like kiting, you guys are just missing out[}:)]

Of course there is.
So long as we're here and they stay over there.
