Hey, Anto, thanks for the mention of the facebook issue. We are not going to use a facebook page for the Sarasota Kiteboard Coalition at this time. We are making tremendous progress on our access issue and hope to eliminate as many sidetracks as possible for supporters. Thanks for hooking up on the website we put up to keep you informed.
Just came from another meeting with County Commissioner Carolyn Mason who was completely positive in receiving information and reviewing the new proposed regulations. She asked to be invited to come and see kiteboarding at the beach before the meeting. She welcomed the sport's representation as they desperately need input from people who know the activities when making regulations and decisions that effect them.
Our MAIN MESSAGE RIGHT NOW is
KEEP KITES AWAY FROM NESTING AREAS AND AT GROUND LEVEL WHEN LAUNCHING, LANDING AND ENTERING OR EXITING THE WATER. NO KITEBOARDING KITES ARE TO BE IN THE SKY (ABOVE GROUND LEVEL) ON THE BEACHES DURING NESTING SEASON NO MATTER WHERE. THIS RULE IS JUST SIMPLE ENOUGH, IF FOLLOWED, TO KEEP US KITING FROM APRIL TO AUGUST.
SEE YOU ON THE WATER SOON,
LAUREL
