Is it imagined? Again, I was only there once, so those are sincere questions, but it seemed like the windsurfers got along and actually knew the other two kiters there that day (Sean and John) and acted like they hung out together all the time.

Is it just the park ranger at FHP?
If so, hopefully that guy will opt for early retirement
There's not a big anomosity at all. But there's still a good half-dozen windsurfers that wouldnt want kiters there. I know because I know them all, I used to windsurf for 5 years there as a home spot. A couple months ago I went their to tune up my kiteboards, wasnt gonig to kite at all and immediately I got approached by one of the windsurfers saying it was banned their. But you got to remember there's a good 30-40 windsurfers that go there on a good day and maybe 5 would complain. But we'll see what happens.
There is a ranger there everyday, and the park supervisor lives on site.
