Default Taken from Kiteforum

I took this from the discussion on Kiteforum regarding rash guards that indicate community member etc...


“It looks like the Brits have had this sorted out for a long time:

I think a good first step could be the formation of local clubs where the riders are easily identified i.e. by a rash guard. This give some small amount of incentive for club members to behave in the public eye. And when an incident happens hopefully it involves a non-member. The existance of a club lays groundwork to allow some responsible kiters to keep access when disrespectful kiters ruin the sports reputation. Hopefully then the worst case scenerio is enforced club membership in order to maintain access as in Ainsdale:

Behavior like this needs to have consequences for the kiter for example exclusion from the club:
