Hey window guy,

I have a leash, I thought you knew that.

Yeah, we have to chopper them out, two times already.

I don't mind that you ride next to shore, kiting is about freedom,

Everyone should evaluate there own set of circumstances and act

accordinly every spot has its own set of hazards and users,

We need only to make no enemys to survive.

We have it double tough, we can crash and be hated and we can not

crash and be dispised for being too cool

Human nature works both ways...

I just try to be smarter than my kite.

The HKA and Martin Kirk have done a lot in this area, public sector benefits, cleanups, etc. Positive public feeling is an important asset. Just being friendly with bystanders can buy good will that may count someday. More about this in a reprint of an article about this sort of thing, "Staying Alive" at the bottom of:
