REAL BVI update
This just in from a friend in Virgin Gorda in Regards to Real Kiteboardings winter trips, would rather be in bvi's than the mainland, thats for sure.
"My local beach on Eustatia Island in the BVI was invaded by 28 riders from Hatteras yesterday afternoon. Even though they had contact information for months prior to the flotilla, the riding party did not ask the caretaker for permission to be on the PRIVATE beach until the morning of. The riders are part of a 12 boat flotilla that has invaded the BVI for the next two weeks.
Riders from the flotilla were riding and attempting tricks (unsuccsessfully) right in front of an overcrowded and technical launch. The number of kites and the fact riders were oblivious to the local beginners on the beach created dangerous riding conditions. The lead boat of the flotilla anchored directly in front of the launch and created yet another obstacle and hazard an already overcrowded site. Our local kite school cannot teach lessons from the beach anymore because this flotilla is making things REAL dangerous. BVI RIDERS- Give this group room, they are reckless and inconsiderate of the locals..."
There's nothing worse than feeling disrespected at your local launch. Inquire for permissions and permits prior to staking claims on other peoples every day launches. Figured such a legally driven and business oriented group would have a little more awareness of this. Any Thoughts???
