coś jak facebook czy grono dla kajciarzy?

my polish is miserable anyways - the initial idea is a mix of couchsurfing.com, facebook.com and twitter.com for kiters. kitebeaches.com is totally impersonal - you never know who has added the information about the beaches. you have to agree that a 25 year old wakestyler sees a kitespot with different eyes than a 45 year old waverider. with kitecomrades every session log and every beach is linked to a real person you can contact for further information before you leave for the location.

+ it`s a very easy platform to use for people that want to blog their kitelife. just try how easy it is to make a report on a kiting location with wind direction, strength, session focus (freestyle, wave etc), photos and videos!

for instance - i come from Latvia and would like to check out some wavespots in Poland (i know you have some). i look for people from Poland that have indicated waveriding as their preferred style. OR i look at spots on map and seek the ones that have the most "wave" in session rewind focus. AND if somebody in the vicinity of the wavespot happens to have a free couch for a couple of days - i have a free stay too. and this ofcourse works in both directions

To be honest with you...
I think the idea is bloody good, but it will never work at polish community.
Guess why

i know. i come from a country with a very difficult history with communism too. perhaps even more difficult than yours. BUT if you look at comrades before the soviets spoiled the whole concept, it`s all about sharing the resources (wind, waves, beaches, couch in our case) and helping each other out without requesting a reward. we knew about the possible repulsion when we chose the name, but we hoped for open minds..
