Hey guys

First time posting here but after yesterday, i am not happy

I was kitting at cotton tree near the river mouth yesterday arvo. This kid on a red airush keep getting in my way, when passing he wouldnt put his kite low and kept it high.
Anyways i went down wind to try and stay away from him. Next minute in cruising along and suddenly feel 4 lines go across my neck and next minute i get couthangered the F%ck out of me. The kid obviously tried to do a trick.

He didnt say sorry or nothing

Firstly if your going to do a trick make sure you have enough room down wind to not hit someone.

And how about you learn to fly properly before you start trying tricks..

Yours sincerely the guy with four rope burn lines across his neck.

There is only one way you can handle this situation, step1 remove your emergency string cutting knife from your harness, all mystic harness have these knives built into them. Step 2 cut every one of his lines either while you are in the water tangled up, or when he comes into shore for a rest and while his back is turned get busy.... You know what i mean.. So he will be forced to by a whole new line set up... Im offering courses at the moment in line cutting techniques feel free to calllll
