Down- I was was stuck at work watching the wind blowing in the trees and checking my phone to see the wind.
Up- I ran out at 5 and got to brighton for some sweet kiting.
Down- my front line snapped and put a stop to my session way to prematurely.
Up- when I didnt know that my line had snapped I was about to pull the quick release as the kite was looping in the air. The up here is i didn't and fortunately it was my flagging line that had snapped so it could have been bye bye kite.
Up- I raced home grabbed my spare bar and headed to st kilda at about 7:30pm where I had fun For an hour.
Down- someone accidentally took my pump from St Kilda. I'm going to assume it was an accident and not stolen. If you ended up with a Naish kite pump with the logo smudged please PM me.

All in all it was still a great session (actually felt like two) and there were a lot more ups than downs. I also forgot that St kilda is a lot of fun when the crowds aren't there.

a lesson that I took away from this day is you should always take a spare bar and pump with you.

I think you asked me if anyone found a pump at the KR trailer yesterday. I didn't know it was a Naish pump. Next time you in St Kilda ask at the trailer if you can go have a look through the pumps cos we have about 10 Naish pumps so someone might have accidentally picked them up from the beach thinking its from KR.

Bloody anoying if you have to ask the old pump question on the beach cos you have lost yours

I got home from work and looked at the wind (showing 20+ knots) and decided to stay home..... Am I sick?

Ha well you might have double stung me today. I went into KR to get a set of new lines and walked out with a new pump......which came with a free fusion bar and 8m pivot. Most expensive pump I've ever bought.
