Whats with all the loosers, wanting to kite through all the windsurfers at Scarborough? We use a small area in the surf, its not that hard to go around. Your going at a different angle to us, you get in the way, loose your boards, drop your kites and get in the way with meters of string in the water. It happens on a daily basis when it's windy. Are you all beginners or just not that bright?, Your not doing your sport any favours. Give us a break and just go around us. Thanks.

More to the point whats with all the loser windsurfers hitting swimmers at Cottesloe?? They use a small area, its not that hard to go around. Your going at a different angle to them, you get in the way, going fast close to shore, endangering kids. It happens on a daily basis when it's windy. Are you all beginners or just not that bright?, Your not doing your sport any favours. Give us a break and just go around us. Thanks

guys - it is not your ocean. even if you have been in your little spot a long time, share on watermen.
And heading straight towards kiters and surfers bearing away last minute will not help the angst in the water. In fact probably causes a lot of kiters with less experience and wind knowledge to fall or ditch board in attempt to not be hit by a pole heading in direction.
Look at Corros, look at Gnarloo, Exmouth, hell lots of places where it works between the 2. Your arrogance is duly noted and posted here on forums for future.

Sorry I'm not particularly interested in meeting some random guy off the internet. There are plenty of homosexual dating websites out there though, where you'll find what you're looking for. And anyway, you're obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed, I'd imagine you'd attempt to drive to Green Head and end up in Kalgoorlie or some other random town!!

p.s if you were a bit smarter, you could have replaced the u with an umlaut e.g Gazuki is a fücking rentboy! How clever am I?

Another brave keyboard warrior. let it go gazuki. If he came straight at me it would be last time he was on the water for a long time. Brave, brave typing heroes.

Ps must admit kiters getting in the way, dropping kites in the water etc are a pain in the ass. Especially if you then have to pump your sail for 10 minutes and do another km round trip to get to your mark. Then you realise your 5 knot range of your sail isn't cutting it, so you come again for yet another 30 minute change over..oh and maybe you might change a fin or two (not quite right hey?). Seriously why bother.

I'd suggest you come up to Green Head for the weekend with your little rent boy, but I'm afraid it will much stronger than 12 kts, way too much for your 450M2 kite!

The poley has a point.

So many downwinder heros just do what they want with seemingly no consideration of other beach users.

there are clowns new to the kiting world and seems to surfing/watersports and are ruining it as they have not learnt common etticate in the water.
A few of us try to teach but a lot wont listen.

And then you get clowns like Zed, who think they own the place and can call everyone else names and they should get out of his way. not cool man. obviously there is angst in your world, hopefully it isnt from lack of windsurfing or hatred to kiters.

I for one love slashing greenhead. And used to be a windsurfer loving waves like that as it is so good on point breaks, but moving to perth was the end of windsurfing to me. Windsurfing at scarbs looks absolutely terrible and is so not suited. drift, poor wind, shallow, beach break close outs, i dont know how you guys still hang on to the stoke.

Scarbs is better suited to Kiting than Windsurfing, its a PITA to sail.. little island (seal) is pretty much the only decent local place when it fires. Its pretty quiet these days thanks to the enormous Great White that permanently resides there!

Sure were. I was talking about this yesterday and it looking like we are going to have a old school revival on Australia day down at Pinnas. Come along and relive once again the thrills of two line kites and small boards with us.

Yeh I have been somewhat aggressive lately. Good point but ...

There was a time when a man opened his mouth he would have to step up and deal with whatever was the reaction to the cause (a big mouth). Now you metrosexual, saburbanite kooks feeding on the tits of a so called more civilised society (a charge ponzi system generated by crony baby boomer debt money printing machines) think you can say what you want, whenever you want without consequences. And I'm afraid you scrotum sucking ****nuts probably will never be asked to stand your ground on your smart ass comments. And the pantomime continues .....


Two line no depower crazy Australia Day now that will sort the men from the boys. And ironically I was flying a two line foil back in the day at the very spot zed is whinging about.

I must admit on balance those swarming flocks of downwinder SB wannabes is somewhat disconcerting.

Not even sure who you are angry with now.

If you don't like smart arse "keyboard warriors" maybe you shouldn't use Internet forums.
