Very sorry to hear about the event not happening. I know many will be dissappointed but yet another wake up call for our sport.
A comment was made about communication of our sport and showing the positive.
Check this out.....
As many of you know, we just had the Tampa Bay Kitemasters last weekend. EPIC!!!
My point is all newspapers and TV stations were sent a press release about the event. This event was not only a race, but a fundraiser for a worthwhile cause, All Children's Hospital.
Not one mention was made in any paper or TV news. Absolutely unexceptable IMO.
Here's a chance to shed some good light on the sport and not one word was reported on it.
However, any time there is an issue, the papers and news are all over it. I know we all know this to be true about papers and TV, but this was a obvious display of there attitude towards our world that we live in.
I am disgusted by this and plan to write each and every paper my thoughts on the matter.
I will post links to specific past articles and the writers if any want to jump on board.
Hang in there Neil.
