no jetskis at blue hill.it would be hard to teach because the jetskis would be going up and down and those tourist dont kno how to drive jetskis good. but in the shallow water a lote of sand would be going into the intake.... but when you say kitepark, do you meen ramps and rails?

Default ok sounds good we are getting there.

the last kicker I put up there was made into a cubby house by some of the kids after they broke it apart.
so sliders and kicker will ot last up there,they could be used and then dissmantled and put in storage and brought out when they want to be used again.
the rubish bins I got put there where stolen.
so the bins need to be more secure.
No jetski's expt for rescue craft.

OT
How did the clean up at CH go- did it "take"? I mean is there a permanent change for the better now? I don't expect it to be spotless but are the bins being used?

Default CH clean up

on the day there where over 120 volenters only 20% where from NPCC the rest where residents from coral harbor.
The beach was about 90% clear they filled up a 40foot dumpster and left bins out there for the beach goers to use.
I thought it was a success .
I have not been out that way since that day,
My guess is it has probably gotten to the point where it has to be another organized beach clean up again .
whats that got to do with goslow?

Default coral harbor

just to let you guys know , I went to coral harbor today scouting for a new entry into the back near those islands..no luck need a ATV.
and went to the CH launch and it still is clean and looks good.
the bins are being used and there is alot of signs up about taking your rubish home with you and about 6 bins for people to use.

sorry guys I did not reply earlier but I was in the middle of moving (what a pain !) so no phone and no internet for a while !!

If I could really choose I would like to have a bigger bay at Go-slow but I don't think it would be an easy job so who's gonna put the money to do it ? As far as BH is concerned, I'd like to see a much cleaner beach, maybe also extended by a few yards on the Western side, a decent parking lot and even a small convenient store would be nice. On the water we could have few kickers and sliders but I would not make them removable (too much of a hassle).

In terms of rules: I'd like to see safety leash on every single rider, no riding close to shore when other people are bathing and no beginners close to shore.

Default cool

Thanks for your input matteo.
in the next few years we are going to see Bahamar Take over goodmans bay beach,it will most probably be like club med beach ..no access to locals,more buoys .
in my proposal I am asking the government to extend go slow and make it into a kite specific area to help the growing sport of kiteboarding and to attract more visiting kiteboarders..it's not that hard to extend goslow a few big bolders and old conch shells , a eco impact report . permision
Roby myers crew could do it in a day.
anyways when I Finnish my first draft I would like to have a meeting with you guys so we can go over it.
