Tried helping out a few young newbies yesterday. First thing was to grab my pump to try to turn the slug that was slewing across the beach into a leading edge - they had used a lilo foot pump to get 3lb in
Damned if I didnt blow the whole show apart at about 5.5lbs
Left the poor guys with no kite how bad do I feel
The kite was a converted old 2 line 7M that someone had 'sold' them for several $100 not very long ago
Thought of lending them mine for the day but they hadnt ever had lessons so didnt think I was really feeling ALL THAT bad.
I would like to try and help them out though. I dont think they have wads of cash so thinking now if anyone has a SAFE old kite laying round they dont want (or perhaps for $100) if you ring me I'll pick it up and get it to them - on the condition that they are prepared to pay for at least 3 lessons.
Fix my guilty conscience & get them going safely.
Any offers welcome - phone me anytime 0400 227 296
