If someone knows this person could they please pass on that taking up 5 parking spots at Melville Beech car park was not cool.
Especially as the kite training was being done South 400 meters away in the park.
There are no parking restrictions along the road where they were training.

1,2,3,4,5 steezy photoshop skills. But I agree thats some rubbish and inconsiderate parking. The kiteboarders name will remain mud with antics like this.

Sorry bro, that shark had me for ages until I bopped him on the nose with a large jelly fish.
Seriously, I thought I took the piss when I parked there, but would have really appreciated it if you voiced your concerns to me directly instead of publicly.
Sorry again for any inconveniences to the pole surfers.

Sorry bro...


Look at bright side of the story, now you have a free advertise on Seabreeze!
By the way do you have any 8m-9m kite for hire?
I am not sure if I need an 8m kite or a 9m so maybe I should hire both sizes from you to see which one is better!
How much is the rate?

Cheers
Alex

Mate - if you park that selfishly you deserve to be shamed. No-one should need to give you a quiet word - you knew when you parked there you were doing the wrongy.

Not good advertising for your company, or kiting in general really, and probably reinforces the "Kiters are all selfish w@nkers." view amongst the public/poledancers.

Your inconsideration just shows a complete lack of respect for others.

I hope Karma inconveniences you in the same sort of fashion.

BTW you just lost a customer.

Champ, I see you advertised to run some lessons in Tassie if required. Always glad to have someone come down but if that's your best parking effort then you'd better start practising. Tassie's on only small, we don't have enough room for that, might cut it on the big island but not here. Also if you want to bring that big rig over on the boat you'd better make sure you've got about 8000 lessons booked up before you'll make any profit. TT line know how to charge.

Perhaps it's time to take a deep breath and have a look at the reality of the situation. Sometimes Melville gets a bit crowded and you may have a small walk to where you want to kite or sail. You will still get a sail or a kite in. No need to panic. If it's that big a problem surely you could just talk to the guy as opposed to the good ol internet witch hunt.
Get over it, life goes on.

So he`s taken up 5 spots. Is he there every day? Was there absoloutly no other place to park for others. Was it that big a deal? Sometimes we just need to take a chill pill.
Confusous he say " If you worry you die, if you don`t worry you still die, so why worry?"

I am sure the 4 other peeps who had to walk as oppposed to one will console themselves with that fact.



I am not sayin we should torch the guy but his - Yeh whatever just keep it quiet response is a bit - dare I say it - Corey-esque (Need in icon with bigger glasses and a fur jacket here Loz)

The sign on the car says windsurfing and surfing lessons as well- pole dancing trouble makers need to leave the kite crew alone.

There are good windsurfers- the majority are cool people but some seem to want to take thios rivalry thing way too seriously....can't we be friends ?

Funny - I thought this was about parking?

Now you want to make it a kite vs windsurfer thing?
And that's a Pole Dancing trouble maker's fault how?

This thread was about parking but the thread about this thread in the windsurfing forums started with this gem....

This is the kind of kite-idiot we have to deal with, great to know he was just taking the piss Intersting sense of humour

It was blamed on kiters from the outset.

So are you denying that the guilty party is a kiter? Or just that he was an idiot?

I think Graceman may have been a little inflamatory, but he didn't say anywhere that he was splashing his comment across all kiters.

I'm sure you'll agree that some idiots are kiters.

"this is the kind of kite idiot that we have to deal with" generalises the situation- it is one person who offers lessons in multiple disciplines. He may be a kiter a windsurfer or a surfer or all.........

Some idiots are kiters, some kiters are idiots- this is true of any group in society, there are always a few who ruin it for the rest. I find it offensive when some- and there are only a few- jump on the we hate kiters bandwagon and start shooting their mouths off.

It frustrates me that I can have a beer with a windsurfer and a laugh yet on these forums we hate each other.....

You kids need to think laterally.
I could easily park 2 landcruisers and a trailer in the room he ( or she) left in those bays. just box the puddin head in or better still ring your friendly Ranger.they lovvvve driving down for this kind of thing. beats chasing dogs
4 bays too many should be 4 fines for illegal parking

Nice deep issues comin out bro. Maybe you need some inner work before you start on the road rage scene too. Try communication eh.
