bad luck mate but you think people would learn not to leave gear in their cars by now

COL said...

Gee Lach, you've had a bad time re stolen cars, stolen gear. We'll keep a lookout for you. Do you/Chris have the serial #'s of the Griffins, u could post them up for all to see.
That's a real downer, but we had a top day served up for us yesterday ah. I can lend u gear if you're stuck.
best of luck getting it back
cheers
Col

cheers thanks Col I might take you up on that

Ta lach

Lach, I remember looking at your Grand Vitara in the carpark yesterday as you went out and thinking how good it was that you got it back last time it was ripped off.

F#@king thieving bastards!!!!![}:)] Piss me right off.

Is that the board you took out yesterday? I'll know that if I see it.

Let's find these pr!cks

Could I ask where you guys kited yesterday?

Thanks for that. New in town so looking for some spots other than Nobbies. Kited there last year when I was here for a while. Nice place to kite, maybe a little crowded and it seemed like perhaps not everyone was in control. Was good to meet some of the Newy kiters. Hopfully see you on the water soon. Noticed that nobody kites Nobbies in a southerly. I assume its no good.

Nobbies works well in a southerly too but is a bit onshore at the northern end .Lots off push onto the reef with the swell too . Dicko is epic in a southerly when its strong and lots of room .Even with yesterdays congestion I was able to manouver aaround the pack and get a pretty clear run.

thanks again Col .I'm gonna set up my cardboard with a tri fin at one end (it wasn't in the car I did this on an UG a few years ago ) and dust off some surfboards board wise . Don't you use that rally most of the time?
this is one of the things that gives me solace .

ta again

Lach

COL said...

I've got 2 10m Rally's and u won't be using the same size as me anyway.

Hey Col, what are you saying about lachs size?



or maybe with his skill he could stack both 10's

We can only hope the barsteds use them locally and we catch them

Come to think of it we probly want see them again, if we did half of Newcastle would be on your kites
Team Lach

Sorry couldnt help that

Hey everyone some great news .Firstly i would like to thanks everyone for their support and particularly Cols kind offer and call and also Chris from Griffins kind offer to replace the kites at an awesome price and Craig's kind offer too (does it come with a tiger snake) .I really appreciate it and am so glad to be involved in a sport with such a great group of people sharing the stoke .
I called the NRMA my insurer to make the claim on the window that was smashed. The girl told me that there was $500 coverage for items damaged in the car in an accident but not for stolen items but that the window replacement was covered .then she asked if the car was parked at home which is was and she said" well thats good because you can claim it on your home contents insurance (with a small excess fee ) because it was within the perimeter of your home ".,yes yes yes .i love the girl at the other end of the phone and would kiss her if i could .i thought that this was a gonner .i am sooooo stoked ,relieved and grateful.

So lets till keep an eye out for those kites so that the mongrels can be nabbbed and don't be a goose like me and leave stuff in the car and also don't put your car keys in a hidey spot at the beach because there is a good chance that there is some theiving mongrel watching who will get them and make off with your car

COL said...


You've got to be kidding! It was heaps bigger than 3'

I think I'm still a bit euphoric, but wow, I do luv this kiting

I was calling it Indo style Col, when I called it 6 foot over there everyone called me unkind things.

Love your stoked attitude, enthuses me even more.

I'm so happy for your happy ending Lach, it's a feel good story. You must have been so relieved to understand what was going on. Not enough happy endings in real life. Love it.

That is **** Lach. I will keep an eye out for all your gear. I think we better look into setting up some razor wire & a full time security guard around that car of yours.

I think its his cat,
that he named after his idol , Mark Holden????
