A GUSTY DAY, BUT A FUN WAVE OUT ON THE FRONT SO WORTH POPING OUT. PUT THE FOOT STRAPS BACK ON THE SURF BOARD FOR A CHANGE. A OVER HELPULL MONKEY CAUSED ME 3 HOURS OF BAG AND KEY FINDIBG STRESS AFTERWARDS. NOTE TO GENERAL PUBLIC, PLEASE DONT WALK OFF WITH KITE SURF BAGS AND HAND THEM IN RANDOMLY WHEN YOU SEE BAGS ON THE BEACH, IT DEFFO ISNT HELPING!!!!!!!



Shem, what you need is a big marker pen... Then you can use it to write on the pebbble that you leave on top of your bag to weight it down something along the lines of: "I'm out kitesurfing and need this when I return... Please leave it alone."

You could always add on the end "if its dark then I need some help, please call the coastguard!"

Sorry we didn't pop in for a cuppa but Morgan fell asleep before we got to Pennal and we didn't fancy waking him up so that he could be grumpy the whole time we were at yours!

ye I thought about marking my bag, I met a guy in oz with "IM OK" on the bottom of a big wave gyn. hed been pickeed up by the coast guard chopper twice when surfing over 30 foot waves, so now he just turns his board around to show them! Epic.
