I never loose my board

I break into kiter's cars and put my telephone number on the bottom of their boards. Then it's just a matter of sitting back and waiting for the phone to ring... and bam- free gear.

I wish.

I loose

Fixed it for you

I write my number on the fin. Means you're less likely to affect the resale.

Still waiting for my carton - even after being asked brand preference by a kiter a few weeks ago.
He had snapped a center line about 4-500m out so I offered to take in his board in while he self rescued. Kept an eye on him for about 10 minutes and noticed he was travelling downwind almost parallel to the shore making little progress towards the beach. Went downwind and assisted in dragging both kite and person to safety.

How about doing it because helping another kiter in trouble is just the right thing to do?

Hmmmmm, ah that old chestnut. Gratuities, when are they in order? Certainly not when some punter is out in 35 knts on a 9 fully depowered and stuffs up. He deserves to be helped because he didn't know any better.

I'll bring a couple of BFM Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien Grand Crus down and we can know the froth off em Justhanging.

Ahh my favourite Swiss tipple and an acquired taste, however I am not sure it's the right thing to do - i have yet to spend time assisting you and demanding a carton for my services.

... recently on a trip to SA, Robe, with a decent 20 to 25 knots with small waves and rough water, one of the our crew helped out a bloke who was in trouble, in his world he thought he was going to drown, gotten himself to panic stage,,,, ended up dragging him in by his arm back to the beach where he layed on the beach grabbing his breath back kissing the ground. Meanwhile one of our other crew saved his board.

Later, the bloke drove up and down trying to give us $50,,,,, none of us would take the money,,, "pay it forward dude",,,,, so yeah its what you do for fellow kiters.

Mind you, had he turned up with a carton,,,, we would have insisted he join us for a few, then we would have taken it in a heart beat,,,, so long as he joined in,,,, that's when a carton is welcomed with open arms.

Cheers,

Robbie

Best attitude in here so far. That's what it's all about and sets us Aussies apart from the rest of the world. Well done P.

That was Craig. Nice work.

I thought he was looking ok and misread it too. Should have helped out
