i see both sides of the argument ..
and i have been at EB or skyway with 30+ riders, all of at least intermediate skill and all respecting the right of way and keeping the beach organized and its been an AMAZING day with tons of people having a great time.
i have also been to EB or skyway with 10 kiters and 5 of them new and 4 of the 5 ruining a lot of the day for everyone else.
i try to get some friends into the sport but i demand they get lessons and i send them to the people that have the skills to teach.
i "promote" saftey of the sport more than the sport. if that makes sense.
that said, i would like to see some kick ass commercials w/ kiting.. not sure why its not used more in advertising or movies or whatnot. its a great sport to watch..
