The bloke on the windsurfer is Alberto from Windshack

...and I forgot to mention that the board didnt have a fin and I was sitting on wet sand

lol, i remembered this photo from when you took it and it ended up on seabreeze. i went looking for your weebsite yesterday and ended up at your facebook page.

cool photo.

^^^^^^I knew if I poked hard enough you would soon show

And you have totally missed the point.
I commented on what was said on here that it is ok for the dancer to purposly take out other water uses if they have right of way.Pretty dumb redneck attitude.

I bet if the pic was a dancer about to get taken out you would be writting letters to the council.

Havent said anywhere that the kiter should be there,dont know where you got that from???????
NO NEED TO GET ALL ANGRY AND SHOUT, chill

And if you took the time to look at all the pics on the site you would see its a set up game of cat and mouse.

So have the rules changed????If someone is downwind of you and they shouldnt be,its ok to take them out????

vid of the location

Sick wave.

Where is this?

To all the haters;
Quit trying to stir-up bad blood between poleys and kiters.
You know, the two riders in the pic are most probably mates.
lol.
Hey, no one died, right ?
Anyhow, the kiter looks to be flicking off the wave.
He probably took the wave thinking it would close-out and shut down on his poley friend.
But obviously it wasn't to be.
You do stuff like that in the surf, it's normal.
There's nothing worse than letting a wave go to waste.

aha
cheeky bugger knew that he was in the way!!!!

ok, all jokes aside,

there is no doubt the windsurfer has right of way. if the kiter was heading out then maybe you could cling to some form of reasoning but there is no dobt the windsurfer is in the pocket and has right of way.

this speaks volumes for why kiters get so much flack from windsurfers. not just in the surf but on flat water also.

nope not at all - he has obviously just over-run the wave from the back and snaked the kiter. no one likes to be snaked.
how else would he be going in that direction. he has not turned off the bottom and smacked the lip.
first on the wave has the wave

now this pic helps the above statements - the kiter is looking over his right shoulder - the windsurfer has smacked the lip
thus i have shown both sides fairly and proven the kiter is a dirty rotten drop in..

PET HATE .................is what where talking about,,,, something particularly disliked.

Like DROPPING IN puting oneself in an area of danger.............. Notice the kiter asking the question will or wont he slop the dragon ...... i hope he goes down and i get this wave of him . Well the kiter got his answer and didnt like it one bit ............Whos hating who.

Lucky the polie bloke didnt throw into a forward and had the skill to drop it down next to the kiter and not right on top ........and or not expode on inpact after slaying the throat of such a beast

.......Believe me lofty if he was really going to take this dood out, he would have throwen his gear or landed square on his head ,or put the nose of his board up under his rib cage and or throw the gear so it wrapped around the med strings to help him turn turn da kite.

What you dont understand is how much commitment is involved to be inside the belly of the beast

If the polie did bail off the top to satisfy your DISIRE TO give way the chances are he would have got caught up in the gear and ,had the breath of the beast pick him up like a tooth pick and spear him into the beasts dungon cave.

IF hwe was then lucky and his gear went over the back the surging dragon would have dragged him close enough to his cave to be smashed by the 3 member of the family.

And the kiter certainly ain't letting it go to waste -

Gently cruising out on the shoulder looking down wave seemingly oblivious to all around.

The photographer is doing more with this wave than the kiter.

Not only silly, but stupid as well... wearing a leggie kiting is really not recommended. Ouch!

you need a leggie at a break like that one. by not wearing a legrope not only do you lose your board constantly, you also get in the way of others by body dragging through the impact zone and the lineup trying to find it.

you should wear one when learning, but you shouldn't be anywhere near a break like this if you are a learner.

I don't know why that particular photo is the one that has stirred up so much controversey.... surely this one has much bigger implications!

If a kiteboarder is to land on your shoulder you should definately not blow him

This is the problem with Kites, They take up so much space. No room for a normal in and out the line. I still think we need a two meter razor blade along the leading edge of the sail...hehehe. Four quick pops and the kite is gone
