lets hear it..
reverse psych?
I always push expense and lessons, or maybe I should say licensce 
danger card may intrigue most brave ones.
keep your spot crowd free...
may not be good for sales growth though.. or r and d.

for the coast the shark thing ought to do it. let's see, Pac NW, near the mouth of a river, riding near dusk. are the sharks out there? absolutely!
for the gorge --- it seems there isn't a way to turn people off. although i've seen a few more kiters out in the surf this year, it sounds like the gorge kiting population is growing quite dramatically.

whatever people on this site are so friendly to newbs and even people who are even barely considering moving out here from fuckin anywhere... nwkite members only shit on more established nwkiters.
sharks, cold coastal waters, hectic gorge crowds, mean locals and their vicious dogs, expense, hazard... just the truth.
