Kathy, I'm so with you on this. I can't imagine a lifeguard watching the chaos and not wanting to intervene, for everyone's safety. Separating the surfers and windsurfers with the buoys has worked pretty well. The kiters need their own cordoned off "zone".

Two kiters jumping in the surf zone is just insanely dangerous, and if someone gets hurt, my fear is that they will ban everyone, including windsurfers.

Damn, it's nice to be home! Two weeks of kiter/WS peace and love in Maui almost had me convinced that kiters CAN be rational, intelligent human beings capable of common sense and aloha... well "aloha" to that idea! We are the laughing stock of the entire W/S world. When people in Maui found out I was from Leo, whoopta, the questions started flying... "man is it in the water, too much smog, too many Starbucks, too many deer on the Secret Road?" We should all be getting royalties from I/WS for "Days of Our Sails." And when they spotted the Da Kine line knife most of us are now packing, yeehaw! I just can't wait to sail Leo... Home Sweet Home! Da Bull

Welcome home Bull! Hope you got some good sailing in.

Not to be too difficult here, but it's only fate that we will be sailing with kiters in the future. I sail a lot a C Street, where kiters are all over it, and their numbers greatly exceed ours. Generally though, everything works out remarkable well.

For you folks at Leo, I'd recommend caution. Getting the authorities involved in our world isn't alway pretty or predictable.

Leo Carillo:

Jagged Rocks and razor sharp sea shells.
Shitty conditions 364 days out of the year.
Ridiculous traffic on PCH!
Gang-Bangers and drive-by shootings.
Light Winds and kelp + sea grass.

Is there a place lamer ?????????????

I DON"T THINK SO!

My drive from Leo back to Santa Barbara on Sunday included this huge emergency event at the Point Mugu area. What an incredible circus of events. Everyone was there. Tragedy is always a magnet for eager viewers.

I have to say that my earlier drive on Sunday down to the Rice turn off was super congested and slow. Usually though, the later Hwy 1 drive along the Malibu coast is a piece of toast, as it was on my way down on Sunday to Leo after the turn off from 101. No doubt, lots of motorcycle action around Neptune's Net on the weekends, but that's to be expected.

Frankly, I'm glad that most LA folks channel their efforts down 101 to their homes located in the greater LA area. Summer weekends can be nuts with the flow from back and forth from LA, and sadly, I have to use some of the same road.
