On the other side of the coin, if do nothing and wait until extinction of these birds, then the beach access might open back up haaaaaaaar That brings up another issue. It may be a bit of a stretch for some to make this connection, but it seems that government wildlife agencies and bird watchers ar...

Death by 1000 cuts.....really......you got the entire pacific coast line and the little birds are killing your recreation.... wow..... Got news for you....with all the morons doing this sport were all on borrowed time.....just be thankful you still have a place to go because its all going away even...

Guess Greg Drexler at cloud didn’t get your sermon.. I mean fair play for not falling asleep writing that lot but spare a thought for those of us attempting to make sense of it all. Definitely a complicated subject. More so since most kiters have never even thought of using stall while riding and w...

It is extremely difficult to manipulate a logical and reasonable person. An emotional person, who is incapable of restraining their emot...

Either you DO sheet in while looping the kite, or you DON'T. If you DON'T, coated lines are great. And sheeting out while turning the kite is not a real concern with post 2014 PU coatings. What an amazing load of elephant poo. That is quite bizarre. I am sorry if I triggered you. Let me explain a l...

I'm selling my kites and buying an environmentally friendly power boat. Yup, that is what the good ole government wants! More fees and taxes for you new expensive boat and gasoline for it's 4kpg fuel consumption. Most places in the US are free for kite gear. As far as the birds, At the most popular...

Either you DO sheet in while looping the kite, or you DON'T. If you DON'T, coated lines are great. And sheeting out while turning the kite is not a real concern with post 2014 PU coatings. If you DO sheet in while looping the kite, even the newest super supple and slick PU coating slows the sheeting...
