What a piece of shit town

Am i the only one that thinks paying $25 to park to kite is ridiculous?!

longwhitecloud FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Unless parking on a private property it should be illegal to have to pay for parking on public spaces.

It's indeed a much better discussion than the covidshit.. so why anyone hints in closing this topic isn't clear to me.

and yes it is rediculus longwhitecloud to pay 25,- for parking .. you didn't get electricity, water and cable TV for that price?

Parking near a kitespot is a somewhat interesting topic. The manner this discussion is taking place is not very healthy however, as the tittle indicates as well.

I went kiting in Switzerland and Austria this summer and had to pay $20 or more a day just to use the launch area and lake.

Not complaining, the spots were were pretty good and not that crowded, but if youre not used to it your first reaction is shock (or anger depending on your character].

[longwhitecloud]

what! for real! is it a privately owned lake?

freeeeedoooooom,,,errr not

It´s the Switzerland, stupid!
You have to pay for the air you breathe there. Pretty normal stuff, the Swiss citizens belong to the happiest in the world
Fancy a portion of French fries at the skiing hut? 8 EUR, please!

I don’t mind financial support for things I enjoy - like libraries and overdue book fines. Ski resorts here get up to $35 a day for parking in a covered garage and they get full, then police open street parking. I would pay extra to support better launch sites, showers, bathrooms for kiting.

If I really just wanted to save money, I would quit kitesurfing.

2 feet is not much relative to an RV but that's about 20% of a normal car length so it's definitely ticket-worthy in a coveted parking zone. I would just keep the RV parked there, get a good session in, then leave and pay the ticket later.

The trick to having a great vacation (and life) is to enjoy all the moments whether they meet your preferences or not.

Even a Smartcar Fortwo is about 9 feet long, what are you driving?
