*they do not overfly non-kiters in the water or on the beach, keeping well more than a line length separation.
*there are a minimum of hard objects

If you are sued in court and lose, the person who sued you may try to force the sale of your home to collect their money. A homestead makes it harder for them to do this. ...

Holy cow, there is a lot of anger in your post.Kiteus Maximus wrote:Who's at fault? Anyone standing around who was experienced enough to see a beginner was putting up too much kite for the conditions. Beginners don't know this shit. Help them out and don't be an arrogant dick head about it. If the beginner gets attitude because someone is trying to help them then the beginner gets what he deserves. We have kiters at our local spots who have been kiting only a few months who act and talk like they have kited 20 years. I'll take a willing to learn and modest beginner any day over a self rightous dick head kiter who thinks he knows it all.
Wait, what? Is that actually a thing? That kite must have been massively underinflated...tautologies wrote:...that guy ended up ripping his brand new kite after inflating it by mouth lol...
Yes..it was a 16...on a day I did not even pump up my 10...we were 4 people trying to convince him to not go. I think he borrowed a pump from someone else at a point...but the kite was still massively underinflated..which matter little since his buddy tried to launch almost straight downwind..and the kite promptly ended in the tree...we were all told to f*** off by the guy.Beamrider wrote:Wait, what?
