Read this on kiters forum but could effect all of us
www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/General/Scarborough-Beach-Mgmt-Plan-WAKSA-Meeting/I have emailed Juddy the president of WAKSA with my concerns on the subject which has been noted and will put forward (saftey and emergency access) after a few serious incidents last summer if we are moved to a more secluded spot.
Break-ins may increase also
WAKSA is doing a great in trying to keep access open to all water user.They are even going into bat for us.
99% of the kiters and windsurfers do the right thing at scarbs anyway its the 1% that draw the negative attention and thats what causes the damage and then we get moved to designated areas
My first reaction was bloody kiters have caused this but i think with the redevelopment of scarbs it would of been on the agender to put everybody into areas anyway.
If it wasn't for WAKSA i wounldn't have known nor would many others.SO well done to these guys.
Didnt see anything mentioned from Windsurf WA to highlight the problem
If anyone has some proactive ideas to try and come up with a good solution send an email or Pm to Juddy @ WAKSA and help save the best spot in perth.
Its going to take a bit more than just saying ban the kiters as its everybody whos effected here
