Just a reminder about tomorrow nights meeting. Poor riding behaviors are being repeated both in Pompano and LBTS.

1. Riding inside buoyed swim areas.
2. Riding near bystanders, throwing moves too close to shore, beach jumping.
3. Unlicensed, unpermitted teaching

are the main problems.

Also, if it is too light, too onshore, your kite and/or board are too small, you are still working on staying upwind or otherwise are UNABLE to be able make offshore beyond the buoys AND there are nearshore restrictions, then

DON'T RIDE THERE

How much longer are we going to tolerate this as a group? We are paying the price for their indifference and perhaps our own. Time to stand up, bring some consistent, effective PEER PRESSURE to bear on these guys and as a group. If someone is putting your privileges at risk, grab your friends and go talk with the guy as effectively as you can.

Doing nothing is taking a strong position on this serious issue. It basically is a vote to shut us out.

Think about it, hope to get things going in productive directions tomorrow night, with your help.
