These stats should be significant to anyone having to defend against beach closure. 79% of the kiters are in the 21-50 age group. That's responsible, working, tax paying adults. This is obviously not a teen-age fringe activity.

92% of kiters are 21 or older....

Toby, can you keep these stats around somewhere for reference at potential kite ban hearings? Those are some powerful numbers to support kiting as an activity engaged in by responsible adults, methinks.

(Yo! Under 21 folks, you may be better kiters than us over-21 folks, but you're just not perceived as being as responsible, y'know?)
