I think the meter maids are a better Gold Coast icon

Dont really understand why it would be a "new windsurfing attraction"?

Could be funny to see someone windsurf over the top of it just as it starts up though

we could windsurf out to it.

GOLD COAST EJACULATOR - KITERS EXTERMINATOR

well the video says, "there is an enormous contrast between the busyness of the city and the vast expanse of the featureless ocean.

if you believe that replicating the busyness and bulk of the city in the ocean is a good thing then more power to you.

Hi Gestalt. I'm an old fart but The Icon Geyser is my project. This jet celebrates the very thing you love, the ocean. Some news for u - many of the guys who build the digital jet and constructed the vid are all young and into a variety of surf sports. They all work on the Goldie and I've given them work and wages in the last few weeks. Love ur havin some fun with it and gotta get my cat one of those hats but with ear holes - Coles or Woollies?
Listen to the opening of the vid, it says that compared to the busyness of the city with cars, highrise, roads etc. etc. the ocean is flat, calm, featureless but not always. The "bloody offensive" hardly necessary. Lotsa workmates in my staffroom all surfers and I support their causes.

me thinks whoever made this video is not really a water person. how is the ocean featureless. bloody offensive idea really

When I first saw this I thought it must have been a joke!!
What the ......
As Lotofwind says, must be money involved.
If we have to go to this extent to have another attraction for the Goldy, I'm very disappointed! We have the mess of highrise right beside the beach, now we plan to stuff up the water side.
I'm totally against it!

Mate - you dont get it do you. If I put the jet into the urban highrise area, it would be lost, un-noticed in the busy highrise but when I put something into the nothing space of ocean, it cant be missed by anyone.

Guys, this is getting crazy. There is no money involved. This is a free gift to the city. Original idea I know but we're not all motivated by dosh. What do you guys think of the impact you have on noise, pollution, danger to yourselves and others of your sport, especially the jet ski guys; fishermen chucking bottles of grog overboard. Of everything we do in the ocean, ships, ket skis (yes) sand pumping to replenish beaches, artificial reefs to create wave breaks that dont work, sand pumping jetties, groins that don't work, desal intakes and on and on. A thousand surfers daily pissing into the ocean, get real, this jet is the least impacting of almost anything we do in the ocean and business will build and support it.
I support you guys but sometimes you're your own worst enemy.

Hang on. Which ultimate being, that beyond reproach, deemed that a "jet" needed to be installed anywhere?

PS: Are you related to God, perchance?

I dont think you get it.
People are not complaining of the enviromental impact.
The nothing space of ocean ,as you put it, is the surfers,windsurfers kitesurfers NATURALY made playground.
I dont think many will like some man made fountain placed in the middle of it.
Most of us love the natural beauty of the ocean we play in and its an escape from the plastic man made world we live in.

"but when I put something into the nothing space of ocean, it cant be missed by anyone."
Exactly,,,,just because you want to see it dosent mean we have to be forced to.

I can feel a mass surfer paddle out in protest comming on

you build that monstrosity and i can guarantee it will (rightly) be sabotaged so many times that it will simply have to be removed after a few months.

Sorry stamp but some people love it. U want to get to the structure, bring a bloody big welder, ur gonna need it. Oh - s%$# where do I plug it in!!! Honestly mate, dont know what your objection is, maybe if you spend some time to check it out, your concerns may be satisfied. Not tryin to insult you but keep it real and sensible ok. First, check out the website info rather than relying on second hand alarmist info.
What's your concern - talk to me about it - I'm genuinely interested in your view.
You might also abide by the rules of this site pls.
Regards
Rossco

It seems the general public dont want this eye sore in their ocean.

Your presence in the broadwater or the sea with a coloured sail will have more impact than this jet.

Except the sail doesn't require fuel, electricity, creates no noise, turbulence or affects the marine environment in any permanent way...also will be be packed up & taken home at the end of the day.

Lets not deal with the whole jetski issue of noise, danger, accidents, irresponsibility etc. etc.

Hmmm, you'll be struggling to find a jetskier on these forums, they're about as popular as your project seems to be.
