Kite man at IV- get a brain.
Kite man at IV- get a brain.
Heya, yesterday at IV @ 2:30ish pm my paddling buddy and I were out for a few waves. We were crossing the beach front heading north from the main lot prolly 20 meters offshore when some fool decided to bear down on us and buzz past leaving less than 2 meters between at speed with a nice soaker wave. Not cool, you're on a short reach at speed with way less than full control.
It's not your beach or ocean and i was paddling there long before kitting was invented. It would be a drag if people started complaining about the unsafe kite boarders, writing to the crd, saanich ect.
next time we'll just wait for you in the parking lot.

Relax, there is no bomb.
there's always one guy, doesn't speak for the behavior of the majority, the vital few as it were......or could have been unintentional too, ya never know, doesn't sound like it tho alas people also make mistakes
a lot of us are paddlers too, sorry dood

That's cool, but just remember this the next windy day at JR! Sharing the water works both ways. Having someone bear down on you is not cool, but the not so veiled threat at the end of your post is a bit much for getting some spray in the face.
