Lost at Sunset Beach

Common Sense!!!!!

It's getting crowded there and some don't have any regard for right-of-way (starboard), riding close to the beach, crashing kites on the beach, jumping close to the beach, absolutely no regard for safety. Keep this up and we'll lose this launch site eventually. Then Howard Park is next.

It was nice back in 2002 when there were only two of us there.

Sad but true Jake. There is increase in new riders at SB and HP but the concern lies in the veteran population as well. History shows over and over that it is reckless riding behavior by experienced riders that get spots shut down. This is highlighted in the latest Kiteboarded mag discussing access issues and solutions. Check out this link http://www.thekiteboarder.com/2010/1...ur-beach-open/

I think the first step is recognizing there is a problem.
The second step is coming together to create solutions.
Final step is putting plan into motion, sticking to it, and having consequences for those that continue to jeopardize access.

The Belmont crew got it right and will enjoy access for a ling time.

I'm not sure what the Sunset crew has planned, but I hope that they have at least gotten to the first step.

The clock is ticking. It wont stay cold forever and the public will be back soon enough. Keeping that public from complaining will be the key to continued access.

Well Jake, at least there is one other person that sees what I see.

I'll make it a priority to talk to some of the regulars there. There are a couple of experienced riders who are guilty, but I think most of the regular crew follow the rules and realize that our access can be taken away.

I'm about to become an a$$hole. I am going to try and be nice about things for a while. It seems that some people don't get the point until you really drive it home. I know I will have the support and backing of Steve-O and the guys from North Country.

We can't have a ban at these spots like in Miami, or lose FHP again.
