Right, for the public, it's first come, first serve. I thought we were talking about schools.

I believe this thread to be more about informal lessons going on in the ponds area rather than formal lessons given by kite schools. I was down at the Waterfront with the family over the weekend and saw all kinds of people teaching friends and family members. From my experience, the kite schools operate legitimately and follow the rules set forth for them. Agreed that if you are operating a business you fall under a different set of rules, but I don't believe the kite schools are who we're talking about here.

I stand by my original statements, paraphrasing Oregon's water use rules regarding public areas, when it comes to recreational purposes, who gets there first gets to stay. In my book, informal lessons fall under recreational use and therefore, they get the spot if they're there before you. Just simply respect other people while out on the water and everything will be fine.

Because we're talking about informal lessons and not the formal kite schools, the Port has no jurisdiction and shouldn't even offer an opinion.
