Almost everyone up here has one. The Kites are too bloody big and it's too bloody hot. Not embarrassed at all.

I dream of pumping up a 12 by hand and most people reckon that is big!

I'd like to know which one you're using too. I could justify my needs but I don't need the approval of stranger or even give a toss what they think.

$20 battery powered airbed pump in K-mart. Use it in the dump valve for a quick fill of the slack. Have your normal pump already in the inflate valve. Quickly close the deflate valve. A dozen pumps and your 12m is up.

Damn good idea! How much does the real deal cost? Around $400??
