Default we must share the beach and water

it is really easy for us to say to ourselves - "What the heck are the swimmers, beach goers, etc, doing in my way"

BUT you must correct yourself and say "They have every right to be here - I need to be a good diplomat for kitesurfing and always be courteous and friendly"

Down in Sarasota we have to practice that mantra everyday because our beaches and surf areas are always packed with people

I guess I should have made myself more clear...

At sunset park, not sure if you've been there, but it is very obvious with many people launching and landing and rigging and everything else that goes on, that if I am a responsible parent, I would not put my kids near such a busy area.

I'm all about staying out of everyones way, trust me on that, and I make no argument with you onthat point. I just find it mind blowing that with all of that going on some people sat down with their newborn, and some other parents decided to throw their kids just a few feet east of kiters coming and going from a very small launch/land area...

Most people are totally ignorant to the possible harm we pose to them.
That works in our favor. But, we definitely need to do the "right thing".
95% of riders in this area do, and that is AWESOME!!
