I gather you don't like to answer direct questions or are capable of articulating yourself without hiding behind fictional characters Waveslave.

"hiding behind fictional characters' ??? ^^^

I'm actually fully revealing myself.
I'm making known my thoughts and showing my true colours.
I'm naked, Barry.


Damn I don't wanna see ya naked pete! Don't do that to me!!

"But man, should you really be selling this stuff to a newbie?"

"But man, it would be immoral to sell it to a newbie who's had no lessons."

"That's strictly correct. No proof of lessons, no sale. I need to be prudent, dude."

"You're a righteous fellow, man."

"You too, dude."

"Whatever man. Anyway, it's easy selling stuff when it's windy."

"I have a slightly different selling policy in the off-season, dude."

That really does sound like a slur at a certain well known retailer/school.. Is it necessary??

RPM,
Are you trying to make this piece personal or something ? ^^^
There was no mention of shops or schools in the text.
Don't assume it portrays your narrow view of the kitesurfing scene.
The text is an expression of my imagination.
Fiction is, by definition, subjective.
The story is not aimed at anyone.

I just did a search and read the topic you referred to. ^^^

That topic is about a shop.
The Dude and Man story is about two fictional characters who sell stuff privately throughout the year.

Footnote:
The majority of secondhand kite gear is sold privately, not through shops.

“Dude, I don't like what you post.”

“Why don't you like what I post, Man?”

“Cause Dude, I don't understand what your point is.”

“Didn't you read my post properly, Man?”

“I did Dude, but it's pretty ambiguous and my interpretation makes me angry.”

“C'mon Man, this is an open forum, everyone can post what they like.”

“But not if I don't agree with what you post, Dude.”

“Whatever Man, I just wish there was more wind so you had something better to do.”

“Now that's something I can agree with, Dude.”

Man and Dude need a Dudete in the fold,,,Jazzzzzzzzzzz it up a bit for em,,,,,nooo wot i mean!!!!!!!!

Start a poll I say.
Regulars here will know Puppet & Slave have faced off (sometimes even seriously) on more than the odd occassion but this is a "forum" - definition = place for expression of opinions.
Just cos Slave is wrong most times he sprouts { lol } doesnt mean he is pushing some weird theory through his Dude & Man posts.
He is a very cunning-linguist . His turn of phrase is totally enjoyable.
I vote G.O. to Dude & Man - bring it on.

And besides: I also think Slave picking up on the 'no lessons/experience = no kit' thread was both topical (as comedy comment ought to be) but also pointed way more at resellers NOT retailers.

carry on....... lol
