Greg,

You have the support of Otherside Boardsports and most if not all the locals in the upper Keys. We start haveing out meetings @ October or November. I am haveing knee surgery in a week or so and will only be out for a month. I will be back in the Keys in October. I will also be coming to a few meetings in Key West this year.

If you need anything, just call me or Otherside Boardsports.

Thanks Noel, we really appreciate everyone,s support, Brad also called me and is setting up a website for kiteboarders and the general public for the keys. (I will let Brad put up the details when he is ready) Key West Kiteboarding will be holding another Kite-Nite towards the end of September to promote safe and eco friendly kiteboarding in the Keys. At the moment I am talking to my suppliers to get prizes donated to make it more fun for everyone.The proceeds are going to go to either reef relief or the sea grass foundation, I have not yet made that decision, as I have to still talk to them.

I will definately come up for one of your meetings when they start again, please keep me informed.

Greg

Good job tonight Greg and Paul. These wins are milestones for the sport...

Yep Greg, the site is up: www.conchsforkites.com. We have more to add but you can sign up now. The idea is not only to unite kiters, but anybody who supports kiteboarders and our rights. More to come! Good job again to you guys!

Well done Paul and Greg, your approach is a good one. It is best to present a unified front in public proceedings. Life is a parley and most issues can be discussed and worked out in advance. As a rule there are enough others in the opposition that don't kite to deal with. Congratulations and fingers crossed that this issue for kiters on Key West fades into the past.

Nice job on the website Brad! Do you have any idea how many fishing guides kite and for how long? Might be useful information to put out there. Keep us plugged in on developments and help you might need.
