Agreed E-Bone, good points. My problem here is that NONE of those common courtesies were done for this kiter who got in trouble because he was retrieving a board for someone else. Jeff, who is a newer kiter was the only one who went out to help. Almost ALL of the kiters on the beach were people I did not know and frankly it pisses me off to see the newer guys NOT help. They will SURELY be in the same situation someday.
As for what E-Bone said, I agree and I personally rode upwind of EVERYONE on Sunday afternoon. Even Randy's lesson. Not too hard with a 20.5 Machine and a UG MC 158... But if someone gets hurt at the Skyway, I GUARANTEE it will get banned...THAT is why we have to always TRY to help, even if we aren't "obligated" by friendship to do so. I would help any of you and I would hope that would be reciprocated if I ever get into serious trouble.
