California to survey non-motorized boat users including Kite

[marina cc]

Hi all,
I stumbled across this news blurb and thought bay area kiters might especially like to participate because of a number of your riding locations up North (I am in San Luis Obispo and we are banned from lakes, but have plenty of wave riding spots:-)

The California Department of Boating and Waterways (DBW) is conducting its first-ever study of non-motorized boating in California. DBW is a State agency whose mission is to provide safe and convenient access to Californiaís public waterways, and leadership in promoting the publicís right to safe, enjoyable, and environmentally sound recreational boating. A major focus for DBW is to provide grants and loans for boating facilities such as launch ramps and marinas. As non-motorized boating activities have become increasingly popular in California and elsewhere, DBW is considering providing more support to this growing boating community.

I think there was a thread on this last month or so. Is this that same survey?
