Hi,
My name is Francisco from Spain, I took two months off to visit and kite around western Australia.
I don't have much hope but I am looking for a kiter who helped me last thursday and saved my whole weekend.

To cut a long story, I was kiting near greenhead by myself when he arrived and joined me on the water.
It was a good session but after some time, I snapped my board. So I came back to the beach and land my kite but I did not see the big branch on the beach and made a long hole in my kite. What a day !
I had nothing to make a repair so I was a bit desperate I would have to drive back to Perth to fix it and get another board. But he helped me fixing the kite perfectly with dacron tape and glue, at the end he asked me if my plan was to stay here for the weekend, I said yes but now I have to go back to the city to get a baord...
He said, 'I have a spare, I can lend it to you until sunday. Just don't bash it and don't to leave the country!', he left me the board and went to kite festival near Geraldton.
As promised, I didn't leave the place and saw him again on Sunday, we had another awesome session and a few beers, on me of course! Then I went to the next big town to buy a board and he drove back to Perth.
I can't believe this happened, I am very thankful and I would love to help him back if I can someday but unfortunately, I've lost his contact details...
His name is Mike, he lives in Perth and he drives an old blue nissan 4x4. Also he is a very good kiter and he had a black Epik kite.

I know this is very little information but there are not too many kiters so I hope somebody in the community will know him and can send me his contact.
Thank you very much,
Peace,
F.
