Continued threat to Kite Surfing

- Fri 14th Mar 2003

Submitted by Phil Elborough, Chairman of Hayling Kitesurfing Association




I received a letter from the Golf club yesterday stating that despite all our good efforts to police the beach, they still received a number of complaints of kitesurfers being abusive. As a result they had decided to ban kitesurfing from May this year.




After a moment to let this news sink in and to gather my thoughts, I gave the Golf club a call, and after a long conversation, I have been asked to put our plans for how we could run kitesurfing on the beach down on paper so it can be put back in front of the committee for consideration.




Last year everyone worked very hard to keep the beech safe, we are just going to have to up the anti a bit. I have already received plenty of good idias and support and have called a meeting this Saturday evening at 7:00pm in the Inn On The Beach Hayling seafront




So what it comes down to, if you would like to continue to sail this fantastic location, come along to the meeting and get involved.
