Alright... Once upon a time there was a little kiteboarder
. This little kiteboarder just loved to be on, above, but not in the water. This one time, just after band camp, the wind was positively lovely and the little kiteboarder couldn't wait to get on the water. At home, whilst packing his car for the short drive to his favourite spot, he remembered the new floating bridle lines that had arrived just a few days earlier. The little kiteboarder had purchased the replacement lines as the dodgy BCF cheaparse rope that he was currently using really should be replaced with quality dyneema line, he thought.
Whether it was because the little kiteboarder was such an optimist or because the wind was ordering the little kiteboarder to get in his car and drive, he said to himself, "self, the lines will be fine for one more session. Replace them when you get back, just go, now."
And with that, the little kiteboarder drove away, leaving the quality replacement lines on his workbench, and the cheaparse BCF line attached to the kite.
Now, if readers of this little tale were a cynical bunch, they would accuse the little kiteboarder of being lazy because the kite was his wife's kite and that if it was a kite
he was intending to fly, he would most certainly have replaced the lines before launching his kite. Thankfully, the readers of this tale are not a cynical bunch
Now, the author of this little tale has work to do and really should leave the obvious conclusion to the imaginations of the readers. Surfice it to say, the little kiteboarder will in future always push the deflate valve back in before swimming back across the chanel after helping rescue said wife, and little kiteboarder will never again trust anything to BCF.
