Saw a guy pumping up his North rebel 2008 furiously for about 10mins. He was pissed off as he thought his 2nd hand kite he just bought was stuffed. After I put the dump valve in for him he was stoked. He said thanks and how did you know. I told him I did the same thing myself, twice .
Saw another guy pumping with a Cabrinha for 3 mins, to no avail. He told me his pump was stuffed as its not going up and getting harder to pump. I took his hose off and put it on on the inflate side, again stoked. P.S. why the hell do kite pumps have a deflate????
Was asked for a launch from a tourist who took 25 mins to set up a 12m F-one C kite mabe 2005-2006 at Woodies beach 1 when I was over-powered on my 8 last season, I politely refused, he was not happy. As I was going out again I saw his girlfriend hot-launch him. Needless to say he was lofted and skull-dragged into the dunes. After that he packed up?? |

| Saw a guy break his arm in a heavy shore dump, which was not so funny. He ended up lying down on his back, eyes closed in pain. The funny part was watching a 50+ nudist run to squat next to him to help out. Watching this guy open his eyes to look straight into an acre of bush and beer belly... THAT was funny. |

Couple of guys I know, you know who you are, tried to blow their kite up with their mouths and then asked "can you get pumps for these things?"

| Watching a hot launch and then bum / face run into the dunes is far more satisfying. |

one back line comes off at launch..
kite loops like crazy..
Yell out 'pull safety'... Person doesn't know how to use.
look of 'what happened' on face = priceless. Kiter proceeds to tell me that they are experienced. My GF laughs in her face.
