Im over the councils targeting kitesurfers who actually respect the beach, FFS spend the dollars on keeping the trash out!
Well said 'default'!
I've read right through this thread - what stands out? Kiters CARE about our beaches and oceans. Look at the time people have taken to comment on this. I hope someone (who actually cares) from the council reads this and sees the responsibility, care and passion - versus those beach visitors who obviously don't give a damn!
I wonder how many visitors to the beach will end up with glass (or worse) stuck in their foot after this dismal show of humanity at the weekend! Councils, are the beaches not for all? There must be a way of preventing this from escalating, which, I guess it inevitably will if left to fester.
I feel for the lifeguards whose job it was to save these specimens from a lemming's fate at the hands of a large swell. Apparently some 'swimmers' were running back into the ocean as fast as the lifeguards could drag them out! I noticed footage of one poor lifeguard on the news with a lower leg injury of some kind, poor guy.
