One of the credits I received with my writing was the ability to be able to explain things in simple, easy to understand language. It is pretty obvious from the comments so far posters have read the words without understanding the actual idea.

May I ask those who feel they wish to comment to reconsider what I have suggested, this is not a criticism of the present NZACA, it is a constructive suggestion on how surfcasters could possibly be served better by that body.

An elected body, or sub committee, that works solely in the interests of surfcasters is far more likely to draw support and success from those who participate, than a governing body that is constantly sidetracked into areas that are not of a surfcaster's concern. That sub committee, if necessary, could then take their recommendations to the NZACA based on solid ground. Even more so as they would have gathered all their information from those people who really matter: surfcasting participants.

The same could be said for those who are seriously interested in distance casting, let them have a sub committee consisting of interested parties, who can then take recommendations back to the NZACA.

With no disrespect to Chad, he is only treating this event as a fun event, surely it would be better handled by those who take it seriously. Then let them decide the way events should be run, and take their recommendations to the NZACA for ratification.
