Are there any alternatives to the double flow two handed pump? Any battery powered pumps out there? Call me weak or whatever, but I am sick of damn pumping. I'm half puffed by the time I hit the waves.

Hey Benny howzit? Scored a kite at Long Reef with Andrius last week, then ballistic wind in Gero. Hugs to Deb,

Clive

Don't be so slack it only takes a few minutes then you get wet and cool down. how long can you last on the water if you can't pump up you kite?

woohoo

Go to a camping store and buy a battery powered electric pump for blowing up air matresses, blow up dolls etc.
Pumping up the larger size kites can be a bit of hard work especially if your really keen to get out there fast, and if your lazy they are really good. It gives your more time to chat to the ladies.....

Whats wrong with an aerobic warm up before you go out.Its still easier than rigging up windsurfing gear. How many of us warm up &/or stretch before we go out (like were told to for our own good)???? Be honest!! If its too much for you mabye an armchair in front of the cricket would be more suitable!!!!

Those of us who aim high should do so fully overpowered!!!!!!!!!

Buy a bottle of nitrogen and a balloon valve, that will pump the &*$# er up real fast. Actually make it hellium and you can boost some kn huge airs. Jesus! some people just should take up sleeping as a hobby!!

Have kite will travel

BeerBong/Clive, you obviously spend as much or more time on this site as me!!! Debs and I are fine, we are living in HK now, having moved from Singapore. Kiting here is no existant..I think?...but planning trips to Boracay in Phillipenes..(sorry about spelling!. Hope all is well. Have bot a house in Hillarys so looking forward to joining you back in WA one day for some good kiting and a few dark and stormies!!
