Found kite near skyway

[Tom Stock]

Found kite in the mangroves near the skyway. It had a few holes in it, all bladders punctured, all rings cut off, and someone took a huge sh1t right in the middle of it and wrote ONE PUMP SUCKS on it.

PM me a description of anything and I'll send this kite to anyone.

It will arrive in many small envelopes.

Has scott been riding Fuels again or was it Danny this time??

[Tom Stock]

No, Danny tried option 1, request new bladders.

That kite had ALL new bladders that I installed about a week before.
Hence, the sheer frustration and the decision the kite was worthless when half of them went flat.
I was just dead sick of it at that point.

It's not like I didn't put a bare minimum of 8 hours putting new bladders in that thing (at least 3 times over the last 3 years).
Changing them all out just to have 3 go totally flat was the last straw.

I don't cut kites for absolutely no reason. Heck, I still have some kites from 2002 and a 13m Fuel from 05.
Maybe I should have just sold that thing for 20 bucks. But I was beyond pissed at that point and whoever I sold it to would have just bugged me complaining about it. It wasn't worth it to keep it.

hey i salvaged a $10 ring so it's not a total waste.

I kept two of them and some hose clips.
