The whole Aquidneck Isle area,not just Newport,is seeing water related recreation pressure like never before.Its becoming a competition.You have more fisherman,swimmers,surfers of all types now including the "Kites".
I can only speak for myself and the other folks I know.We respect others rights to use the water as long as they do so in a lawful manner.What that windsurfer did wasn't illegal just
"ignant" and that is almost as bad.
For as many good people such as the folks here at S-B there now seems to be just as many jackasses out there.Confrontation is inevitable.And this is what leads to the parking bans and closures we as fisherman hate.
