Annoying dog owners

Dont really want to sound like a whinger, but today during my kite sesh an extremely annoying Staffy was brought down the beach by its ignorant owner. This wouldnt have been a problem other then it swimming out to say hello to us but thats not all it wanted... When I was cut off by my brother and sent into the shallows near the shore, the bloody thing decided it wanted to take a nice bite of my brand new Fifty50.

Has anyone else had a problem with dogs and/or other animals attacking gear or just getting in the road of a sesh?

Yeah, we have pumpkins here that let the dogs run around on the beach while they go kitesurfing. Many times I have had to dodge potlickers when the tide drops.

When I landboard dogs chase me all the time.

For the most part they are cool dogs just out for a bit of fun. Unless its really light wind I can usually blow them away.

In fact its bloody amusing to see a usually well controlled dog just chase me with the owners screaming out trying to control their dogs. I usually blast off 1km down the beach with the dog chasing behind me hehehe. freaks the owners right out.

This Alsatian once managed to run at 45kph for a good km before running out of puff. I was impressed by that.

I ran over a rat dog once. That was funny as hell. Luckily I wasn't going too fast. But is seamed to take such a long time to run over bouncing up and down under the board. I was sure that i'd killed or maimed it. But no it jumped back up and ran off.

The nickname is irrelevant and has nothing to do with whinging.
So please shoo pathetic keyboard warrior. Staffys are just dogs, not people and they moat certainly are not the best. So go back to watching porn in your mums basement trolling kite forums instead of actually kiting. This post was about one dog that pissed me off. Ive shared the beach with hundreds of dogs and not one has thought it a good idea to use my board as a chew toy when I crash

My dog is out of control when I go kiting she chases me relentlessly is quite funny watching the misses trying to control her and she would love those wheels on your land board plummet if she saw you would be quite funny she is a mental bitch when the kites come out.

Most dogs go nuts at kites and why wouldn't they. Dogs like to chase things and round things up and here is this thing connected to a human that looks like the dog needs to help round up.

I have no problem with dogs when I am kiting....the only irresponsible dog owners in my book are the ones who don't clean up after their dogs in public.

It sounds to me the bigger problem is your brother cutting you off and sending you into the shallows....perhaps you should by him a leash.

woof, woof!

If you have a dog and it is annoying any beachgoers. Put it on a lead. If the sign on the beach says dogs must be on a lead, put the dog on a lead. If your dog s**ts on the beach clean it up. Otherwise there are a lot of well trained dogs with responsible dog owners that are never a problem. Dogs love going to the beach its just the odd problem dog/owner who doesn't think!

I once went to a new beach, setup my kite and just as I was about to launch, a dog ran to the kite, jumped on it and with his claws teared holes in the canopy... No more dog beaches lesson learnt!

After spending the last 2 weeks at PMH some people just seem to whinge about the most trivial crap on here.
Maybe you could try citronella oil on your board or stop kiting so close to the beach

One of our kiters has a sausage dog that runs up and down the shoreline, following him. HE stands on it occasionally but otherwise, it's just very cute.

Nobody else would risk their dogs in such a situation - they train and treat them better than their kids here!

Had a customer once who had the LE of his brand new kite (2nd outing) shredded by an overly excited young dog.

The dog owner himself came in & bought the guy a new kite AND donated the damaged kite - which was repairable - to our Salvage Yard charity.
When chatting to the dog owner he explained that the kiter - whilst totally gutted by seeing his new kite shredded - remained calm & polite throughout the whole incident. I expect he would not have been as well treated had he 'lost it' & let his anger rip. As I expect most would.
MORAL in there somewhere.

It's funny how anywhere dogs are allowed or just tolerated off-leash soon becomes a minefield of dog turds.
Even semi-responsible owners take the attitude that "if it happened further than 30m from me, I didn't see it & I'm not responsible".

Only dog owners seem to think piles of poo around the place are normal and OK, everyone else thinks they're disgusting.
My old neighbor put in $4000 worth of lush turf. Within a month his children couldn't play on it as there were turds everywhere.
Somehow he was blind to them.

The same blindness that happens at the dog park in Victoria, waterfront path and sand at Sandgate, even around the rocky headland near my new place.

Oh and while I'm attracting red, Staffys are the commodore of dogs. The lowered commodore with 3 rodney jane specials and a steelie, a chevy badge, bogan stars across the back windscreen with some frangipani stickers next to the my family stickers. Biggest bogan dogs money can buy.

The only dog that's more bogan than a staffy is a staffy with one of those leather chestpiece collars. Cos they're fresh back from pig huntin eh?

I had a dog owner tell me off once for throwing a fistful of sand into the muts face when it came up and tried to lick mine while I was trying to setup my lines. Yep it was a bogan with a bogan dog.

Had a dog treat my blade fat lady like a bouncing castle today after their owners threw a stick right next to it. They just kept walking and when I called out it looked like the missus gave me the finger. Called him back to explain his mut had put a nice hole in the canopy. He apologised but their behaviour still left me simmering.

My Wolfhound always runs herself silly when we kite, untill she gets nackered.
A lad from the townsville crew got chased a few weeks back from a red healer i think and it jumped up for a ride and in doing so put a couple of puncture wounds on the inside of his leg. Just excited ha

Read pg 29-32 of the joke section and didn't get as good a laugh

Seriously, respect and kite control

Hes really lucky that he was dealing with a nice person who offered to replace the damage his dog had done. I didnt even bother speaking to the owner of this dog as he clearly didnt mind it chewing on a brand new board.
