Check you're lines and pullys lads

Check you're bits and bobs before you go out today. I know it's common knowledge that you need to check your equipment but I've been a bit lazy with mine and my lines looked fine the last time I was out. Yesterday one of my bridles wore itself out because the pully had seized. The kite flew like it was full of sand (pissed off, head scratching on beach) and it took a long time to change (spare part included with kite thank god) My kite got a full service last night, I should of done it over the Christmas break :oops:
All the gear, no idea.

Yep, a very valid point craig.hope your kite is ok?

There have been a few times i have been caught out with depower ropes snapping etc. Key point to note guys, always check your gear before going out and always take ALL your spares with you in the car cause its Sod law that if you don't take them, you will need them!!
