Default city,s approval

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.
