Hi Fellow Wind Warriors

I wanted to ask and request if any one has any high resolution digital photos of Kiters and Windsurfers, launching, landing and Kiting and Windsurfing at the Gold Coast Main Beach Spit particularly with showing the Spit in the Photos. Particularly photos of the Western Side of the Spit at either SeaWorld Carpark or the Spit Finger (aka Big Red Barge).

The photos I am requesting are for the use of a power point presentation for the use to prove and show a very diverse mix of recreation purpose users of the Spit Area to be presented for Public and Government awareness. No doubt by providing these if you kindly could, you would be authoring exclusive use of these photos for the purposes.

Please send me a personal message so that we may discuss the method of provision of your photos. Your help would be so much appreciated and your reward would be in contributing to try and protect and save the GC Main Beach Spit from being destroyed forever by possible future High Rise Development Please do not fear as your privacy in these matters can be kept from being published if you so choose.

Thanks and regards,
Kurtis

you can call me whatever you want mate. it won't change me and it won't change you. at the end of the day you'll still be the guy yelling at the security, the councillors, the developers, the architects, the planners and anyone else that doesn't agree with you. hell you're probably even yelling at some guy who didn't change lanes the way you like.

Actually, we are all just trying to avoid having to change lanes on the spit.

if you don't want to change lanes at the spit then change the conversation. make it about quality rather than quantity.

Maaaaate!

Derrr and yes I will keep yelling as that is what protesters of crimes against Humanity, The Environment and ALL SOUND REASONING do. Only a HALF WIT! could not understand this.

Nothing personal but it's people like You, Sunland, ASF, Mayor Tome Tate, Cr Cameron Caldwell and other Cronies, that are what's wrong with this planet. You all just want to feck and exploit everything you see or can try, to make and worship the mighty $ and to heck with the rules, environment, original intentions of use granted by the wishes of the State Government in the past for the people of The State of Queensland and any Community Members (inclusive of your fellow Windsurfing Fraternity buddies) who have been traditionally utilising an area for over the past 40 years for their recreation and enjoyment. So as you can help create A RICH ENCLAVE SLUM JUST FOR THE WEALTHY

Some people I hear say "Yeh but think of all the jobs and employment it will create." Well myself and many others I know say "Yes, those types of Developments would still create jobs and employment if they are built in current suitable deemed Zones, where they won't so heavily impact on the Environment and Traditional Recreational Users and if those Developers, Sunland are going to spend $600 million on their Development and ASF/Packer are going to spend $3 billion then surely these guys can spend a couple of $100 million on acquiring or amalgamating sites in suitably deemed zones to build their So Called Iconic Structures to appeal to Wealthy Chinese for their recreation, entertainment and investment purposes and a handful of Aussies as a by-catch to their product

All I have left to say to you is, "SHAME ON YOU AND THEM!!!"

if of any use, here is a video taken before the apparently required edjumakashion-ing of the spit - (though some lessons on how to take dirty nappies home with the baby might be worth while)

maybe best don't play anyone the upside down bit

Some great contributions there haircut (two dogs)

I have taken downloads of haircut's and da vecta's stuff, that's if you guys don't mind. Good work and some great shots showing the spirit of what the sport is about on The Spit and the valuable nature of it.

I will get back to you on the use once all is compiled. Please bare with me as it might be a few weeks away at this stage.

Cheers and many thanks

It's totally understandable for people who don't live, or spend much time on the gold coast, to not see the impact the developments have.

Those opposing the developments are just trying to save some beautiful areas for everyone to enjoy just as it is. There is no need for any development of this kind on the spit. This kind of development and it's apparent culture can be built further in land around some commercial land.

This was a terrific achievement that so many people enjoy. It's so easy to think what it could have become without the locals efforts

LostinSpace said.. Hahaha Main Yes you will have a nice view of every Man and his Dog including all the Beginners and Windsurfers, at The Neck, battling it out or doing their best to get everyone banned from there, as they won't be able to Kite or Windsurf on the Broadwater from all the Wind Shadowing Effects from those Ivory Towers that you and the Wealthy Elite of China will live or own. It's a lack of vision of the snowballing consequences and this is just one example (as above), of many consequences that could quite well be reaped, if these Multi Storey Types of Development are allowed to take place, in an Area that was dedicated as 3 Storey Low Rise in keeping with a Tall Tree Line to preserve Vistas across the Bay Area and that Area set aside for Recreation, Entertainment and Enjoyment purposes and use for the people of The State of Queensland, NOT A RICH ENCLAVE SLUM JUST FOR THE WEALTHY at the expense of the rules, environment, original intention of use and any community members that have been utilising the area for their recreation and enjoyment purposes for over the past 40 years or Indigenous Australians for 1000's of years Some people I hear say "Yeh but think of all the jobs and employment it will create." Well myself and many others I know say "Yes, those types of Developments would still create jobs and employment if they are built in current suitable deemed Zones, where they won't so heavily impact on the Environment and Traditional Recreational Users and if those Developers, Sunland are going to spend $600 million on their Development and ASF/Packer are going to spend $3 billion then surely these guys can spend a couple of $100 million on acquiring or amalgamating sites in suitably deemed zones to build their So Called Iconic Structures to appeal to Wealthy Chinese for their recreation, entertainment and investment purposes and a handful of Aussies as a by-catch to their product





Nah they'll all go to sh#twater after 1 session with DK. Think of all the Chinese punters lining up for lessons !!! You'll be wearing Loius Vuitton budgie smugglers and living in the penthouse after 3 months






To my Poley Brothers, this is a bit of a hangover debate been running on the QLD Kiting Forum section for your toilet time digestion

As per recent studies I have done, I have found scientific researched information that shows wind effects can effect up to 20 to 25 the distance x the height of an object or building and up to 5 times the distance x the height in front of the object. So there is huge potential that it will effect winds all the way to Shearwater as well once "THE GREAT WALL OF MULTI STOREY DEVELOPMENT GETS BUILT ON THE MAIN BEACH SPIT". So I would not be counting my chickens on that and thinking everyone (Kiters and Windsurfers) are all going to all cram themselves down at Shearwater and Jennifer Avenue. So your suggestion is pretty baseless there

But I am certainly considering to sell my soul and go "Yeh, stuff it, let em Develop it into a MULTI STOREY RESIDENTIAL WONDERLAND JUST FOR THE WEALTHY ELITE OF THE WORLD on the whole of the Main Beach spit area (Oh but wait, what is that you say, the access I will be only granted is that I can go to a Casino there and loose all my money by a form of a legal rort and theft, Great how good is that!). Also stuff the Kiteboarders and Windsurfers or the Yachts that sail past in those areas of the Broadwater from creating a massive wind break barrier and heat sink across the bay and on the Broadwater, dredge all the Broadwater Sand Bars and Kerlew Island (Just on the South Side of Wave Break Island, now seabird habitat) as per what Mayor Tom Tate's vision and intention is and have a penultimate Water sport Marine Stadium and Course for a once or maybe twice a year, power boat racing event, maybe that's if those racing events don't stop going broke and a have a beautiful big massive Cruise Ship Terminal Jetty of the Phillip Park (that the Cruise Ship Companies do not even support any Cruise Ship Terminal on the Gold Coast at all, due to there is not any real natural or anything like a suitable harbour of access facility for safe passage of there vessels on the GC when there is one just an hours drive up the road at Brisvegas) where massive, compromises to the environment and sea based dredging would have to occur to provide a facility (More than likely Tax Payer Funded as it would not be commercially viable for Private Enterprise to facilitate but they will gladly have Tax Payer funded infrastructure handed over to them for a song once built), and much of the seaside Federation Walk will be totally off limits to the public for the Terminal Facility and its exclusive car parking and bus facility, not to mention the potential where many times it's reported that Cruise Ships accidently spill there bilge water, oil and waste contaminants whilst docked and continually run their motors and generators whilst docked and pump out huge amounts of exhaust to blow in the faces and up the noses of the Wildlife, Surfboard Riders and Beach Users right up and down the Main Beach and T.O.S. all for a pair of Chinese Copy Loius Vuitton Budgie Smugglers and me and my kids getting a job as a Live In Butler or Maid, being Butt Ferked by my RICH MASTERS in the name of Jobs and Growth and people who want to see the Main Beach Spit raped and exploited so a limited few can make a $ FINANCIAL KILLING now with no regard for retaining any LOW LEVEL SYMATHETIC DEVELOPEMT WITH THE ENVIRONMENT OPEN VISTA AREAS and AREAS THAT WERE PROMISED AND ALLOCATED IN THE PAST FOR RECRERATION, ENJOYMENT AND ENTERTAINMENT PRECINCT FOR ALL PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF QUEENSLAND."

I finally get it now, Main Old Buddy, thanks for shedding and showing me the light on this subject, how wrong, short sighted, naïve and silly it has been of me. For the life of me, I do not know what overcame me and my previous ways of thinking and taken great concern (that very few are willing to get up off their behinds to help support) for upholding what was responsible and right for the Environment, vision and foreseeable consequences for what will happen once any of those Multi Storey Highrise Developments gain approval to be Developed for that area for which they are not Zoned and it's the State Owned Land that is practically going to be given away, when these Developers are not interested or prepared to purchase or amalgamate suitably Zoned land holdings in other areas appropriately Zoned for these types of developments of which there is a lot and many areas already on the Gold Coast available for these types of Developments as you, yourself as a Developer understands, Main my Man.

SORRY TO ALL THOSE PRO DEVELOP THE MAIN BEACH SPIT PEOPLE OUT THERE, I HAVE CHANGED CAMPS AND WILL NOW FULLY EMBRACE FOR QUEENSLAND OWNED ASSETS AND PROFITS GOING OFFSHORE TO INTERNATIONAL INTERESTS, ME GAMBLING MY LIFE AWAY AT YET ANOTHER CASINO (BUT IT IS GOOD AND HEALTHY ENTERTAINMENT FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN AND CHILDRENS CHILDREN, AM PROMOTED AND LED, BAH, BAHHH, TO BELIEVE), YOUR, SUNLAND, ASF/JAMES PACKER CONSORTIUM, MAYOR TOM TATE, CR CAMERON CALDWELL AND THEIR CRONNIES IDEALS ALL IN THE NAME OF THIS WILL CREATE EXTRA EMPLOYMENT AND TOURISM FOR THE GOLD COAST WHEN THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER TYPES OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS CAN BE BUILT IN APPROPIATELY ZONED AREAS FOR THE SAME PURPOSES WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO THE SAME OR MAXIMISE PROFITS FOR THE DEVELOPERS AS A ONE OFF BITE AT THE CHERRY LIKE THIS ONE!!!
