Playak News Watch: Team Pyranha: Spanish Freestyle Champs 08
Last weekend we had the Spanish Freestyle Championship in Ourense, at the same spot the Freestyle European Championship will be celebrated in two weeks. The Spanish Championship was a test for the organizers to see how things are and how they should be.
Angry surfers you say?
It's such a bummer that they immediately think that people in kayaks are the world's biggest idiots and don't know the rules etc. Oh well... 
There was an incident here a while back where a surfer attacked a kayaker here in Cape Town with a knop kirrie (Google it, it's common in South Africa - I have one in my car....) in the parking lot and needless to say the kayaker went unconscious after a bit of a beating! The surfer was banned (from Kommetjie) by law for many months... Such a waste to let things get to that stage! Can't we just all get along? As I bodyboard as well as surf kayak, I come across this a lot. Why can't surfers just realise that it isn't their surf...it's no ones. I'm sure I'm not alone in my thoughts. Anyone else?
