to disrespect everyone who doesnt kite you can kite inbetween surfers see how close you can get to swimmersif you want a good spot look for the windsurfers and go in to the middle of them and you can look cool with your boardies over the wettie apart from that your should always tell every one else what to do on the beach even if its none of your f&*$en bussiness . got to love kiting

I’ve become a master at untangling lines and my swimming has improved so much that Speedo are looking into a sponsorship deal!!

My old boardshorts need the Velcro fly replaced as dead men can and will fall out windows when kiting.

cheers

After 5 years of Kiting I FINALLY learnt to make sure I am pumping up the 13 and not the 11 in 10 kts of wind, after kiting for 3-4 hours and grovellying around while the boys were on 17m Octanes doing slightly better some1 says hey, isn't that your 11??

I packed the 11 in the 13 bag by mistake and didn't notice, the wind dropped to sub 8-10 kts adn every1 gave up by the time I managed to rig up the 13 and I got two runs and a gash in my big toe for the troubles, aswell as realise I would have been lit for the entire day on the 13 If I had put it up in the first place.

a quick summary, gusts can cost money, u cant kite enough, green arrows pointing u to the beach when you have to go to school are a sign from god, i should have bought a bigger kite, when nothing can get you out of bed on a sat u only need the tree to shake a bit and you find the courage and finally, tangles are a bitch and a half
