Kailuah Peace and Love Restored
Wednesday, April 04, 2007
Quite a different take from Last Year, when the battle was on:
"
The launching area for kitesurfers at Kailua Beach is a scant 43 yards at best, not much room at all for practitioners of the rapidly growing but still fringe sport to get their equipment (which usually includes some 25 feet of kite line) in order and on the water.
But no one is complaining — not loudly at least. Interactions between the various recreational sport camps who crowd the beach each day has always been fraught with tension, and kiteboarders are, in the words of kiteboard instructor Mark Shissler, "the last kids on the block."
