Can the local shops help us out by sharing this info with the students in their "intro to kiteboarding" classes? Steve-O?
When I was in Wrightsville Beach and asked the local shop about riding locations (there were only a few), the shop spent about 1/2 hour with me discussing the launch areas and what all the rules were. They made it very clear that if I broke these rules that I was risking THEIR ACCESS. Then when I hit the beach, the local riders explained these rules AGAIN (but of course I ASKED, like most experienced riders would). If we are PROACTIVE instead of REACTIVE, we hopefully shouldn't have any more problems. What if: 1. FIRST, the shops/instructors explain the rules and the REASON for these rules..... 2. PLUS we all lead by example.... 3. AND we watch out for new riders/non-locals and politely explain the local rules to them... Hopefully we shouldnt' have any more issues and can PROTECT OUR ACCESS!
