I'm a certifiable bush lawyer for what it's worth.

I reckon that you are asking for trouble if the wrong person stacks it. Most kiters would be ok about it, don't go near it if it scares you and not willing to deal whatever it hands out. There are "some" who would sue the pants off you for anything, and others who would sue you cause they needed the money to pay for hospital bills.

Kitepower has a blow up slider. Steve - how do you see this relating to your slider? What's your spin on taking your slider out and putting it in the water? Can we borrow it for the weekend?

dear oh dear oh dear - mattflyingaway - naivety of youth
Signs mean FA - if theres money to be had lawyers can get it.
And if theres enough of it even their clients who go round ignoring signs might get some.

I actually have 2 of these 40 foot long sliders. I am going to give one of them to my Geelong store. Only problem is it is missing one length of slider piping. These sliders were made in the USA, by a company no longer making them. I heard they no longer make them due to legal issues!!!

If you contact the Geelong store, Goshen will work something out with you.

In Sydney, we are going to try to get the slider out over Christmas and New year. All we need is some volunteers to help set it up and pack it away each day, 2 people can do it easily in an hour or so.

I had it up at Forster at the NSW windless state titles. I even have some pics floating around but too busy at the mo to post them.

Cya and

Just only let people that help set it up hit it. That way they'd be just as responsible as everyone else for setting it up wouldn't they? I'm crap at legal stuff, but that's the deal with our slider. Check our one out in the photos by the way. Heaps of fun.
