Curious, are the KWS lessons on hold until further notice, or...?

Please, enlighten us lamens..... What exactly has boardsport done recently to "fight hard" to keep acess open?

Lets not try to justify the boardsport kite nazi vilalanties. Calling law enforcement on someone who is doing no harm or posing no threat danger to others is wrong and childish.

Keep the politricks out of the kiting.

We the people will organize a group and a letter writing campaign with a common objective to ban these types of nuisances (rental and instructor biz) from OUR public beaches and parks. Hey, its been done elsewhere with sucess....... problem solved!

Let's be fair on this point. I'm just as upset as anyone, but the girls who work for boardsports do a good job on the beach.

I've been thinking about this and I remember 3 years ago when Don (old Don) had to make the call on KWS. It was no fun for him back then, but he was told he had to do it. At the end of the day Don would have beers with Jeff. It was one business vs. another. Let's not forget what the Shack Girls ( I really don't know the kite instructors this year) do for the beach. I'm pissed that Boardsports has been doing this for so long, but the girls really do try to help.

Just trying to be fair

the person who broke the law,
Has the law been broken? I believe that will be for the court to decide. It is certainly debatable. Jeff's would not be the first case of false arrest.

Definition; Da Hui:A bunch of illiterate hawaiian thugs formed in the 1970s that terrorized uninformed haloes that wandered into said hui turf, a behavior later to be called localism, which was the eventual downfall of the once upon a time "sport of kings",AKA surfing.Read L.M.G.s post again, smoke a bowl if you have to, but remarks like yours are extremely inflamatory, and do not further anything that resembles constructive dialog, and you are a coward for hiding your real identity.If you want to "bring it on" please try using your intellect, and share your experence, skills (assuming you have any),and pitch in instead of just ranting.This is a very public forum and the 'Establishment types" who are probably following this closely are probably wondering if kiteboarding is a disease that may not be in the best intrests of familys and general public who use these parks, be allowed to spread in their parks, and just eliminate it, as Huntington beach did permantly.

Don,
That is some heavy shit!
As far as how many police does it take, well that depends I guess on the indivedual, the cercomstance etc...
I just finished having dinner with Jeff, Bob, Sylvia etc... and I've now concluded that I'm going to stay 100% OUT of this situation.
Hopefully they can work it out,
L.M.G.
