I completed my BKSA kite instructor course today along with a whole group of highly motivated trainee instructors who now need to get some logged hours of instruction under their belt to gain full instructor accreditation.
Rather than offering reduced rate lessons - under qualified supervision - as is the usual protocol - I think this 'pay-it-forward' scheme warrants offering some totally free lessons to anyone who is 'genuinely' in need of beginner lessons but may be hesitant due to the cost.
If you know anyone who may be keen to take up kite lessons on a 'pay-it-forward' plan please get them to PM me through SB with a name & no. or call 9336 7884 during bus. hrs.
A Win Win Win opportunity all round here for genuine applicants.

To give away to someone in who has lost or damaged their kites.

9m & 12m 09 Gaastra black with aussiehome.com logo (logo could be spray painted black).

Recipient pays for shipping, or maybe someone at KS can take it over east and give it to someone they love.

Please just PM me.

Good one Little O good to see the karma coming your way after your generous kite offer.

Will take all PM's until Tues. and then send it

LOL - I did say "Geez this looks almost new."

Happy to swap back tho.

Top marks to Ms O - agree with Tighty and think Ms O's donated kite is the most generous contribution yet. Well deserved of the board i reckn. Hope it rocks on light days. Nice to say g'day briefly too.

Sorry couldn't stay longer (time's always ticking) as was good to share the karma vibe .

This karma thread has got legs which is great to see.

Stoked some PNG kids will get a fang on my old gear too.

Getfunky also retrieved his booty of what I thought was the donated Pat Love Cast harness. After Marvin picked up the kites that had gathered for the kids in PNG, I discovered the original PL cast with leash.

In the spirit of the thread, GF keeps the almost new Cast and there is still a PL Cast to give away in Large.


Long live good Karma!

If there is a spare PL harness I would love to take it off your hands. The only problem is that you would have the hassle of having to send it East via Australia Post. Of course I am happy to pay the postage via paypal. Let me know if this is possible and I will send you a PM :)
Thanks

Hi Peeps,

It's in the shop and in it's box.

Got an old cabrinha c shaped kite(I think a blacktip)
Has had a couple of repairs, comes with bag, and bar and lines(if I can find them) will have a look today
Its either a 12 or 14, really can't remember
Would suit for display or collector, would not want a beginner using it, I know as I'm a beginner myself
Pm me if u want it!

If anyone has a larger size board for the bigger befinner let me no!

Still available and I have the lines and possibly a bag

We have 4 (genuine) grateful takers on the free lessons so far. More welcome.
We also had one guy in today who is kiting already but 'very badly' (his words) cos he didnt get lessons to start out.
Bad bad bad - yep sure is. But more than happy to help straighten out anyone else in this boat as well.

One of our potential L platers is offering some pest control work as his pay-it-forward good deed. Anyone with bugs please give me a ring - 9336 7884 during shop hrs.

Hi

Anyone in need of a Mystic Float Jacket. It's black and medium, which suits a 38 inch chest and is good up to 80 kg. My girlfriend hasn't used it in ages, and the jacket is in great condition. It's designed to work well with a harness underneath, and will give good impact protection.

PM me if you're interested, I'm in the Woodman Point (Western Australia) area at the moment.

Used but still in good nick Ripcurl board bag, 1700mm long x 500mm wide will fit a couple of TT's and a couple of kites etc.
