Andy, I know you're going to give this the kicking it deserves, just to let you know we're all thinking of you over here, keep your chin up chum.

And I will be holding you to that beer you owe me..

Good Luck hope all works out Andy. Seen you at Mamdo for many years Now.Will say good day this year.

Hi Andy, I just wanted to wish you well for a quick recovery. Stay positive mate! Thinking of you. Matt

It's obvious from reading these posts that my experience with Andy is not isolated.

From the time I, as a beginner in the sport, met him, he has extended to me the same friendliness and respect I see him extend to everyone.

Nothing has ever been too much trouble for him to do for me.

I have seen how busy he is in the shop, even on the point, in between sessions he is taking care of business on his phone, Saturday, Sunday, he is helping people to engage in their passion.

Sometimes after getting off the phone to him, or talking with him in the shop, I could feel guilty for taking so much of his time. I know he really wants me to pick the right gear and get the best out of it.

His passion for wind/water sports, and other sports is obvious, he really gets stoked when he sees others enjoying and progressing. He always seems to put others first.

I don't know that I would lend me a kite. Andy does.

I always feel like we do good business.

He's a human being, I guess he has down days. I've never seen choose anything but a positive attitude.

One day I'm going to ask him why, when he sells wetsuits, he still goes out in winter in boardshorts.

Andy, the person you are is borne out in this forum. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you are back under a kite real soon.

Sincerely Best Wishes
John Pirona
