ok, thans mate

i know woolacombe always attracts attention and im aware its a private beach, i know its banned to wheels, but is that just summer months or all year round? im staying there on Oct 8th - 12th, and wondered if the ban is lifted october onwards? i know the Ho is a better spot but difficult for me to get there during that week cheers

agreed!

thats not reli the issue, lets face it, lots want to kite their, no one wants to see it banned, and everyone can understand and follow the guidelines once they know what they are, we are all in the same boat here, this has all been blown way out of proportion, there reli is no argument about the area, the whole issue here which has started all this off is simple, the £50 price tag! thats what the arguments are all about, that is what puts people off with the club, no one is being 'deliberately disruptive', its just that by putting a price on a spot is always gonna create this contraversy, jack, of course your allowed to kite their, we just all need to understand the club is trying to keep the spot safe, isnt that what we all want, so long as we all understand the guidelines for the area which the club has agreed with the council, there should be no problem at all, this shouldnt be a matter of requesting payment to fly their, it should be about promoting the area guidelines and everyone being grown up and abiding by them for everyones well being and benefit,

Just to clarify, when we set up BB 5 years ago, rich gowers asked us if we would cover hurst as part of our area, a couple of us youst to kite there more at the time so we agreed to, at the time hurst was more of an undiscovered spot, and there were no problems, the council knew that we were a point of contact for them should any issues arrise, altho we never heard a thing, then a couple of years ago we heard about your hurst club, we never heard anything from rich gowers about a new club there and never heard any complaints form the council either, as not many of us flew at hurst much anymore, we left the new club to get set up as it was obvioulsy being done by more local riders, perhaps we should all calm down a little now too,

sorry to be a bit late to the party here, but ive just read through it all, i think its about time we started thinking about things in the real world, i co run BournemouthBoarding and i fully understand the issues of the club in trying to keep the spot open for kiters, we do a lot of work in the Christchurch harbour spot trying to do the same, meetings with the council, advising locals on danger areas, tides, nature reserves etc etc, i think its important for clubs to be set up to protect spots, but you have to involve everyone in the club, BournemouthBoarding has a full website with online forum, so anyone can come online and discuss issues with other kiters and us admin, we do exactly the same job, we are BKSA recognised and provide all the info u need about the areas we cover on our site, we also have an option for people to become members for £5 a year, this is only optional for people, and if they do, we have worked with online shops and places such as the ski centre at Matchams, to provide discount to our members to give them something in return, it is after all a non profit club, now getting back to the real world, as far as i can work out there is no dedicated website for the hurst club, just an email adress which u contact, send £50 and get 2 cheap rashvests in return, and this allows u to fly at the spot, lets not forget that this is a public area! by setting up a club like this, you take on the responsibilty of protecting the area, but you cannot pretect it by making people pay a lot of money to use a public area, the approach should be to inform people of the issues in the area, do this by either posting signs at the place marking out prefered area to kite, or by a detailed website, its not an issue that one man can solve, you have to make people aware then trust that they are decent enough not to cause trouble, all kiters are united and dont want anywhere to be shut down, so they respect the areas they kite in, of course there will always be odd one who pushes the boundaries, but im affraid you get that with any sport or situation like this, and by setting up expensive demands and telling people they cant kite there, will just piss people off and there more likely to fly somewhere they shouldnt because they havent had access to basic info about the area, obviously its a small area and the number of people out there at once is another issue, but thats just the way it goes, what u need to do is set up a club properly avising the issues with the area, and get people on your side, not argueing about pointless regulations which mean fuck all in a public area, there is no regulation or law, about the rash vests or only 6 people at once etc, just a request from someone behind an email adress, this needs to be rethought and treated as a club for the people that use the area, let everyone work together and see the issues about areas not to kite and what to do to keep it open, let people teach other about the area and promote a good website, and at the end of the day, keep people happy and respecting the area, as soon as u bring money into it, u annoy people and create needless debates like this thread, this can be easily solved with a bit more thought and planning, and will create a much more friendly, and ultimately safer kiting location,

Nice Loop At Baiter Park on my 9m C4 2011 gonna finally make a new movie, should be on here soon

your pm inbox is full mate, cant send any more messages

in my experience it will just go dull black, however i have never thought to put lacquer on it before so dont know how it would turn out, might work! its very hard stuff tho, but if u use a fine grain sandpaper you should be ok, if u go for a harsh paper you stand a chance causing it to splinter and you would make the surface worse, also, wear gloves, the plastic used to make them is worse than fibreglass for making your skin itch, good luck

no spare gaiters, sorry mate, and they are now Sold!
