Sherman Upper Launch Sign

[Greg]

Never underestimate the stupidity of smart people

My observation is: really smart people tend to think in clusters instead of focusing on one thing, generally they appear the most distracted as newbies... I suspect they are processing to much information to remain in the NOW.
Sometimes the best thing to do is STOP, LOOK and LISTEN for a little while BEFORE you start the kiting process. (this begins with rigging and ends with rolling up)
Take a moment to OBSERVE your surroundings, then THINK how can I FLOW WITHIN this scene..
If you see others riders having trouble, simply help them out.... If someone is acting like an A-Hole, back off....
This sport is based on attraction and SAFETY should always be ENCOURAGED, dangerous riders should be excluded from PHOTO SHOOTS and so forth tell they clean up their act.....

ok, so let's start with this sign.....

"IF YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF WALKING PAST ANOTHER KITER WHILE YOU BOTH HAVE KITES IN THE AIR THEN YOU SHOULD NOT BE LAUNCHING HERE"


BTW, i love that new exit, takes you a little out of the way but very scenic and a shorter line in the long run...I'm going to call it 'Tecate' vs Tijuana and Otay Mesa :rock:

[sloughslut]

what about one that says no kiting till 11am.

[airess]

how about one that says:

" 2hr parking ONLY between 8am and 6pm except Sat and Sun except with 'B' permit except for Tues and Thurs, then no parking from 8am to 12p, and then 1hr parking until 8p except for 20' loading and unloading for "Event" parking in which case must have "Event" permit displaying in front driver's side window and then no parking Sat and Sun if 'Event' otherwise Handicap only and in designated handicap areas unless Holiday in which case NO PARKING except for 'Official Vehicles' which can park where ever the fuck they want!"

[airess]

I'm new to Sherman, so bear with me. Has anyone ever though of removing the bushes in the middle of the launch and periodically clearing the driftwood? It appears that the bushes are just shrubs and berries, nothing too valuable, and it would clear a great deal of access. :?:

this has been thought of before. Besides the driftwood, erosion is an issue. Take a look at how much the beach has eroded where the entrance/exits are. It's possible the beach will just erode and won't completely disappear, but i think it's something Bob isn't willing to experiment with?

I think the sign should be a "Talking Sign" as you walk by the the sensor.. a voice that sais ( all kites or bar and lines left at this site will be removed.

How bout just, "no Kite parking"

Simple and sweet.
