WARNING: Yellow Helmet at Rooster Rock on September 28

Hi All

I am writing to you all to warn you of a very dangerous and wreckless rider.

Yesterday, my girlfriend and I were kiting at Rooster Rock. We were out on the water for at least an hour until a kiter with Yellow helmet, yellow life jacket and Yellow Cabrina entered the water. This kiter cut me off among a few other riders who were on the water. This kiter appeared to know what he was doing and was obviously not a beginner.

This reckless rider dove the kite and hit my girlfriend in the head with his kite and knocked her off her board. My girlfriend lost her board because the current was strong and it took her a while to recover her board from after tending to her injuries. This idiot did not even bother wave or apologize for hurting my girfriend.

This idiot proceeds to recover his own kite from the water and road away leaving my girlfriend crying on the beach with a head and shoulder injury.

Take precaution when you see this rider on the water.

If anyone has any idea who this rider is with a yellow helmet and yellow cabrina, please PM me.

Very sorry and concerned,

I hope your girlfriend fully recovers. What a shame your sess ended in this fashion Mad

. And thanks for the heads up, to stay away from yellowman.

Sounds like the embodiment of "yellow bellied", huh?

At least he chose the right color for himself!

Yellow = Caution!

Let's get this guy on the show and see what he has to say for himself!

Saw another kook with a blue 12m cabrinha, helmet, and boardleash. It was blowing really hard. I was on a 5 and told him, A) lose the leash; B) your kite is seriously too big for these conditions please put it away--really; and finally C) Do you know Kevin Kearney?

wow,

that sounds crazy... sorry to hear, hope the gf is ok.

There was some more crazy shit gonig on at the ponds...
After Adam(MM) dove for an NFL pass to catch a runaway Waroo with no sand on it Confused

We saw a dude pump and launch his 12m Crossbow Confused

I am pretty sure Kraemer stopped to tell him not to go out, b/c we were all on kites half that size....but the dude went out, and went straight downwind....
park and ride I guess...? Anyone run into him..?

damn, that sux man. i saw that guy launching while we were walking in just after i saw you. he was way over by the bushes and he was launching his kite with it pointing to the trees! this guy definately did not know what he was doing. i asked him if he maybe thought it was a good idea to launch his kite closer to the water and going the other direction, but he just blew me off. the people launching his kite were literally standing in the grass / tree line close to where the flagpole.

sorry to hear about your gf and her board; that is a real bummer. what a complete jackass.

-adam

if you want a cool small dog, get a boston terrier, short hair, max weight 20-25 lbs, very friendly and companionful dog. the dog will follow it's master EVERYWHERE if you let it. also, they look like mini bulldogs without all the slobber and such and the fugged up face. way, way cooler than chihuaha's IMO. also, boston terrier's are supposed to be one the most intelligent dog breeds. it is funny, you hear about people owning 2,3 or even more boston's because they are supposedly addictive. we're already planning on getting another in feb or march (a year after our first one)!

Not sure if this is the proper place but I have some stuff I'm selling.

1. Yellow helmet, used once, good shape.
2. Life jacket, size large. Still in good shape, bought in a pawn shop last year (yellow).
3. Cabrinha kite 12m with Recon!! Great shape, good beginner kite (yellow and black)

Or you could do a brittany spaniel.... Less than 30lbs, great family dog, and an amazing hunter.
