Honestly couldn't give a **** who you are on the beach. If I am there taking photos, I'm looking for the best photo, not the photo of the person I like the most.


Can you ever take a joke Saf?



Kazan doesn't joke with me. He's was annoyed that a couple of us went on mission to have one of the kiting locations class as non-beginner (when he was still a beginner) and fought tooth and nail saying it was the perfect beginner spot. Since then, two beginners have found themselves in a coma due to kiting accidents. The KBV subsequently changed their wording to reflect this. I'm not sure if he changed his opinion as well since then.

take it to the qld thread where there might be a slightly remote chance someone might care

We never have this problem in WA , but I might be posting this in the wrong section ; )


He might have worded his original post a bit poorly but he was on the money. If it's an Aussie forum (not a WA forum that the rest of us are allowed in) then you guys need to learn to keep your local posts in the WA section - we don't need to hear about another bl@@dy break in at scarbs or woodies, or poleys & kiters having touchy feely sessions in the flags in front of the nudie beach or whatever.


went straight over your head didn't it ?



My apologies for not keeping up with every interaction between the 3 of you guys for the last 6 months, so I didn't automatically know if you were doing funny sarcasm or having-a-go sarcasm. Read like it was the latter to me.

Whinging about whinging is also whinging.

Whinging about someone whinging about whinging is whinging too, we could go on all day, however I've never whinged about where to whinge on this forum

No joke.

Every time a photographer pops out to the water's edge to take photos of kite surfers, suddenly everyone is a "star" and try and do ridiculous moves and jumps. Most of course look like wack jobs and some jumps are even stupid altogether to the point of kites hitting each other. Seems to be worse when cameraman has a zoom lense!

Please!

If you see a photographer out there, mind your own bloody business and stay safe!


Showing off and tempting be be captured looking like a complete dill is AOK if they are chicks with cameras. Infact, it's the rules.

You could of course use this to your advantage. Create a cardboard cutout of a photographer with a really long lens and then position him in the not so prime water away from where you want to kite. All kiters flock there like mosquitos to a flame and you sit with the prime flat water all on your own. May need to position a servo on the cutout so he/she moves back and forth although most kiters will be so busy trying to pull spectacular moves they probably won't notice.

Could sell them to places like WA so they can install them in the pond in places most likely to catch the euro's kites.

When you've got nothing to say, there's nothing to be said! My mum always said "better to say nothing and appear stupid , than to speak up and remove all doubt"

Are you sure? I think it's meant to read ... "better to say nothing and remove all doubt, than to speak up and appear stupid"
