One of these pricks dropped my brand new kite straight onto his nice sharp centre fin just as we were launching, so I was photo bitch for the day. At least I got a couple of decent shots, and he's paying for the patch!





Next we go out I'm just gonna jump straight through his sail like Nat Fyfe coming through the banner at Subi!

How high was he jumping to get his fin on your kite? How did it happen?
In the mean time the windsurfers will appreciate that you got some good shots for their album.

Let me guess, were you setting up your kite right on the walkthrough from the carpark to the beach?

Nah I was way down the beach, should have self launched like normal but he came in for a yarn and left his board upside down 1m downwind of the kite.
The line was caught on a snag so it bucked, noones fault really but sh!t for my new toy!

fair enough
sorry to hear about the damage, it's just one of my peeves when the kiters set up and leave their lines across the only "track" when all it takes was to move another 10m down the beach.

They set the kites up on one side of the track and trail the strings across the walkway, often more than one kite at a time.
The strings are fine, you can barely see them and you carrying all your kit, its amazing more people dont get tangled up.


anyway, as I said just one of my personal peeves, no need to get "strung out" about it :)
