Hahaha, yes the kiters seem a bit less bookish overall, but there are plenty of exceptions. Still, I really had better get back to my side of the fence; I'll be drawn and quartered if they catch me consorting with you lot!

Back to the Lancelin tales ...

Well that was a blast from the past, as is this.....

Did you post it in the kite section

Wow! The stuff that turns up! Hi Charles!

That was my primitive 1995 business card, featuring my original shaka logo, no website or e-mail address, landline number only, and one of the less congruent font choices I've ever made, and indeed that was the address I shared with Dan and a couple of other lads that summer. Quite the blast of nostalgia.

"Carlos," if you've kept the card, I trust you've also kept working on the tuning principles and gybing sequences that I distantly recall teaching you

"A sister that can read." Prawnhead you crack me up!!

what happened to Peter Volwater?

He couldn't find the last mark and has just made it to Christmas Island

there is a reef about 100m offshore that kills the swell- so theres almost no beach break. And there wasnt much swell that day.

where he is being detained as a "boat person" without any identifying papers
