I've never been one for bagging on the tourists. I've always found them to be stoked on kiting and out to have a good time. Today i had 2 different things really get under my skin in 2 hours of kiting at Melville. I don't want anyone taking anything too seriously but I just wanted to have a bit of a laugh at something annoying that happened to me today. It just happed to be 2 Euro Guys.

Dear Euro Guy,
When someone saves you a long swim by helping you self rescue, and that person ends up with a huge rats nest of lines to sort out as a result of quickly landing, dropping their gear, and coming out to get ahold of your inverted kite....

Instead of packing up and just saying thanks as you wander off back upwind with your mate...... Maybe lend a hand sorting out said ratsnest. Would have been nice.


Dear Euro Guy,
When the wind is starting to die, and your kite is luffing as you do the walk of shame back up Melville Beach, and someone politely asks you to fly your kite over the water so it doesn't end up on the road....... please just do it.

Feel free to add your message to Euro Guy but please keep it civil.

dear euro guy,

how does an effemanite weedy little fella such as yourself, who dresses in girls hot pants get such a smoking hot missus....?

Dear euro guy..

Please don't insult my intelligence by asking for a demo kite at our school knowing that you will never buy a kite. We see types like you all the time.. Usually driving wicked vans and launching from the dunes side. Our kites are not freebies for freeloaders.

They are for CUSTOMERS

The next time you whistle, then angrily shout at me to follow the robotic, tedious, march like run out back I will return the favour with some gold old fashioned Aussie hospitality...

Is it possible that he had waited his turn, was on the swell from way out the back, and was unimpressed with someone gybing onto the wave that he was on, ruining his ride?

That has happened to me a few times at south passage, and is considered really bad form.

dear euro guy,

when you are driving your rented 4wd on the beach with fully inflated highway tyres, get bogged to the axles in sand, and come to ask me for help- please don't just sit in the car while i do all the shovelling and then drive off with a wave of thanks.

I know that one but would add no I don't have water for you or a pump.

No. I'm always conscious of this, and it gives me the shts as well. I am also aware that I can get in two, to three waves for each windsurfing tack. I was the only kiter out there with a procession of euros. I always respect the right of way down the line, and I understand why you wrote what you did because I see kiting crew do it all the time.

Good idea with the pamplets if they can be done without too much cost to WAKSA members.

YES my plan worked..

Dear Blow-in guy. trying to self-launch your kite at Woodies Beach1 right in the middle of the walkway is poor form, not only that, the little dune creates a big wind-shadow. After you refuse a launch, stuff up, crash your kite into your smoking girlfriend and your dog (IT IS A NATURE RESERVE....NO DOGS). When you yell at me to grab your kite and I dont please dont be too offended!

Compulsory WAKSA/AKSA temporary membership?

On some spots in EU you need to pay EUR10/day for using a beach...

Dear Euro guy,

Please do not pay attention to the aggro being displayed by a few.
Us Ausies love your hospitality when we head your way and your untitled to the same on our sunny shores.
Please resect local rules tho

Dear Euro Guy,

After you have learnt the basics of kitesurfing, don't try and post a blog on the internet in English. - No One knows what you are talking about.

Def worth a read.

Oddly enough - not much talk of smokin hot girlfriends with low standards and a liking for lady-boys, OR how to get ya dishes squeeky clean whilst beach goe-ers cue behind to use the shower.
