ya, but you gotta get a good, full conversation going to ensure that all sides are spoken for.
funny thing to me is that is that i know that we are all in agreement on so much of this stuff and we argue over the tiny little details.
i think the first step is that if everyone makes a conscious effort to do their best to go talk to people that are or look to be about to do something unsafe.
it does not happen all the time.. on a busy day there are tons of people out that are all fine kiters and we all might kite a little close to shore or maybe lay our lines out when we should be wrapping them up..
but..
if you see a rider about to launch a kite incorrectly or in an unsafe manner, you should go over and start up a conversation.
I've seen this done with great success.
If you see someone riding without a leash.. do what you can to get them a leash to borrow...
