If it ain't shredded I'd pick it up and take home.
But yeah I agree the image doesn't blend well with the multi-million dollar houses there. Someone will complain so whoever owns the shredded kite, take it down. Own it.

The owner of the kite lives in squamish. He left and said whoever can get it down can keep it, so I don’t think he will be coming back to remove it.

asked the homeowners next doors if I can borrow a 20' ladder to remove the kite but nobody got one,
a owner said he called the City and it will be removed at some point.

too bad, I can have use possibly the bladders and pinchers.

Wind was great today, I missed the strong 1130 to 2 (kiters on 7m/9m)but kited ok on 9.5m 2:15 till 3:45, then wind totally back off

You could always rent a ladder (or use a windsurfing mast, like we did to get a kite out of the tree at WREB).

IMHO it would be in the best if the City crews didn't have to remove it and windsports community looking after its own issues.

How would people react if a windsurfing sail was left in a tree?

The fact that the owner left the scene without providing some kind of solution is pretty immature and selfish, IMO. Beyond the potential ramifications it could have on other kiters' rights to launch at 3rd Ave, it's straight up littering. Now it's someone else's problem. If not removed by the city, that Ozone is heading straight for the ocean dead zones and plastic gyres. More waste in the ocean, just what we needed. Brilliant.

Were the lines got tangled in the tree too? If so, how did he manage to get the lines from the tree? But not the kite?

This shouldn't be a hard task. I did remove a kite and its lines got trapped in the tree as well in Nitinat and the tree was much taller and denser. I see no excuse for him doing it other than lazy bum.

Inexcusable!

i would really like to know who it is and have them responsible for the cost. it reflects bad on all of us.
