Got to wrap that! - I love the surprises...
2012 my 13 yo (at the time - aka the 5metre kid) scored his first job at Johono's kite shop. He also scored me in the family cringle ($30!!)
He checked out the junk shed out back of the shop and resuscitated this.

Replaced the straps a few years back, - I last used it about a week ago - still love it
It has been repaired umpteen times and finally I have to recognise that there is not enough time between kites for it to drain

I think the unused inserts are leaking again or it is just porous!!
He has graduated to Boots and C-machines...
We were doing this... last Sunday - over to Fraser Island - that charity gig organised by Brian (awesome hope he goes around next year - Brian is a wicked foiler)
