Nice pic , thanks for checking into that i phone app, I have been checking int SUP,s for you, the one that I e mailed you about is 11 ft, and everyonesaid You should get a 12 ft one, Westi who organises the key west paddle board classic said he would be happy to help you find one, he is a really stand up guy and won't steer you wrong, e mail him at
madwesty@yahoo.com or call him at (305) 797 1174 . I saw him today out on his board so give him a shout out.

The guy that developed the phone app for Blackberry e-mailed me back. He is currently working on the iPhone app. Says that the apple platform makes it a lot harder to develop.

Hey Greg,
If you're going to remove one of the poles, shouldn't it be the 3rd one since it will open up more useful riding space? The space between pole 1 and 2 has a jetty between them. Just my 2 cents.

I appreciate the input , when we talking about which pole to remove everyone that I spoke to suggested the one that is in front of the launch area should be the one( this has been talked about for years) , some of the reasons we decided on this one are.

1 Opens up the launch area more ,which helps when it gets busy.
2 It is further away from the shallow area where we often get bathers
3 It will hopefully help keep the kiters from riding further down the beach near the bathers
4 this pole is in a deeper area ,so riders can do tricks wthout having to land in very shallow water, which is what is around the 3rd pole.

Ideally it would have been great to have both poles removed, and maybe as the riders increase and we get more organised as a group and all work together for the good of the sport, we will be able to go back to the city and ask if we can widen our riding are more by removing another pole. We as humans can not always agree on everything but as long as we can work together and get more riders involved I think we can have a great kiting area at Smathers.

I handed over the letter the city gave us giving us the go ahead to pull the pole to Mike who is dealing with the salvage guy, and, although we are not being charged for the work, myself and some of the other local riders are all going to donate 20 dollars each as a little show of appreciation, if any of the other locals who I or Mike have not contacted and also wish to be included, they can pm me or call me at (305) 4076748.

Thanks

Greg

Nice work Greg. Count me in for a donation.
