OK, I will do an other membership on the page you mentionned.
Regarding the facebook page, the link is broken, I think this is the good one ? : http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/p...7180590?ref=ts |

Hey, Anto, thanks for the mention of the facebook issue. We are not going to use a facebook page for the Sarasota Kiteboard Coalition at this time. We are making tremendous progress on our access issue and hope to eliminate as many sidetracks as possible for supporters. Thanks for hooking up on the website we put up to keep you informed.
Just came from another meeting with County Commissioner Carolyn Mason who was completely positive in receiving information and reviewing the new proposed regulations. She asked to be invited to come and see kiteboarding at the beach before the meeting. She welcomed the sport's representation as they desperately need input from people who know the activities when making regulations and decisions that effect them. Our MAIN MESSAGE RIGHT NOW is KEEP KITES AWAY FROM NESTING AREAS AND AT GROUND LEVEL WHEN LAUNCHING, LANDING AND ENTERING OR EXITING THE WATER. NO KITEBOARDING KITES ARE TO BE IN THE SKY (ABOVE GROUND LEVEL) ON THE BEACHES DURING NESTING SEASON NO MATTER WHERE. THIS RULE IS JUST SIMPLE ENOUGH, IF FOLLOWED, TO KEEP US KITING FROM APRIL TO AUGUST. SEE YOU ON THE WATER SOON, LAUREL |

Great job with the website - simple and to the point.
This could help serve as a great model for other "coalitions" to develop to protect access - probably best to do it before it is threatened as opposed to the 11th hour ??? I am sure that everyone feels differently about that one. I noticed there is a member list that requires a password/username - is that something that SKC issues to members?

new website development: sarasotakiteboardcoalition.org
Hi again Roberto, thanks for the support. There is not supposed to be a user name or password required on the site as it is for information purposes only and the more everyone knows about what to do and not do, the better off we will be. I'll try to undo that tomorrow.
We are sincerely committed to the ideal that all of the posts that are made can be read by anyone concerned in any way about this issue and see only that we are doing a terrific job of protecting wildlife and addressing public safety issues in the most competent and proactive methods available. With education and community support we can bring all of this attention on our sport to a very positive conclusion for us and as you say, other kiting communities that will face similar issues sooner or later. .Many thanks for your continued support and encouragement Laurel |

I am a little confused here, which website is it to sign up?
It seems there are 2 SKC's? |

the real deal
Hi and thanks for the inquiry. Unfortunately a local businessperson and instructor scarfed the coalition name and put up a website that is unrelated to the issues and my representations to County Government. We then took the name sarasotakiteboardcoalition.org dropping the s' in kiteboarders' to make it work.
No accounting for other's ideas of fair play. Please do join sarasotakiteboardcoalition.org and let me know if you want to receive all updates via e-mail or if you are satisfied with the occasional visit to the fka site for postings. Call anytime if you have questions about riding here or whatever else. County Commissioners and staff are well underway to establishing a great resolution if Audubon and Fish and Wildlife are not objectors. Hope to see you on the water in Sarasota soon. Laurel Kaiser |

Hi Laurel and thank you for all these information!
I am waiting for my final address at Sarasota, then I will join on the website. It will be very useful for a brand new in town (like me ) to know where are the spots in Sarasota to practice in a safety way. I found this image but I don't know if there is others good spots? |
