Actually managed to get away from the family for a kite on my day off before 3.30pm today..bloody amazing. Hooked up with 4 mates for a nice downwinder (so rare to get the chance to do that) from the spit to main on the goldy. Wind was good bit of a sweep but still fun. Not more than a few moments into it and my main bladder goes bang for no reason and i am struggling in from behind the outside bank (again). Huge walk with wet sandy kite and the rest of it back to first car.
sometimes it just gives ya the sh#$s

Damn... Richo. You must have been among the group I saw head off this arvo. I was over in the middle of the broadwater at the sandbank with Simon. We were giving a mate of mine some instruction and then intended coming over to the surf for a downwinder too.

Simon forgot to put the bung in the boat and it half filled with water while we were instructing. The water demolished his $1000 phone and sogged everything else in the boat.

We packed up and got over to the surf at 4pm only to have the wind die off.

Next Time .............

PS. Take care when rolling up the kite. Sounds like you may have had a fold in the main bladder when you inflated it.

oh dear looks like the gremlins were out yesterday. Yea that bung is pretty important

Yea the wind has been dropping around four
How was it at kfc earlier?

Yea you might be right about the fold. Although it sure looked perfect before we left. Maybe i am just blowing it up to hard. I suppose i should start folding the kite instead of rolling it up.

Off to Simons today.

Maybe it was that skanky chic he picked up that stuffed his fone and tipped his tender over last time, she may be back?
