Why this this secret anyways? surfers don't like too many kiters? Call it what it is, it's Jordan river... big deal... animosity on the water is unacceptable. I hear of stupid @#$% erupting over waves etc... not so much in Canada, but really..ooohhhh you stole my wave... boohoohooo what the !@#$? not sure how you feel on the matter, but I tend too look out for my fellow riders, no matter what the sport. ya know? I have heard of fights starting on beaches from locals who think they have water rights or something... anyways... point is, if you see someone in need of help, be it surfer/kiter or windsurfer, offer it, it could be you.

It's NOT a secret. We just don't promote it

there's an etiquette out there that doesn't always get followed.

I've never actually surfed or kite boarded there...but I'm sure people don't always get into fist fights..

it is not about snaking a wave or animosity....necessarily....but respect. You obviously have no real clue right now so until you are lucky enough that you do, maybe play it cool? Thx
