that's it exactly! all the gear no idea! and make money. easy. i reckon it would be a bit too easy though. Al has offered to make my e store for me! with my rediculous knowledge of the sport i reckon it'd be great. oh and i'll offer a dog repair servise as well, mail order!

so what are the figures how much kit do you have to buy, how do you get hold of it etc etc.

from what i gather there are a great deal of shops struggling out there and just a few making fortunes. diversification could be one secret to success; so many shops are too specialised and their product range is too limited , they are not giving themselves a chance to be as successful as others.
i assume that you have got a good wedge to buy stock Wills; a spare 30/40k will stop you having to borrow from the bank and then your profits go into your pocket and not the banks. this is assuming that you have premises where you can store your stock; of course you could deal with a certain british company and you dont have to carry any stock at all!
of course you could decide that all that work at uni to become a vet was worth it, stick to it and do one thing well and make a fortune anyway.

absolutley!!! the uni work was well worth it!!! just ebayed a load of kit and got over excited by it all!!! could never do it for real! i'd suck at it! and vetting is my life! just need to move to the coast is all. land is slowly getting me down it's awful the way your car just doesn't rust and the wind never blows and the temperature actually fluctuates. So back to the matter at hand is borth the place to be?

just a few words from the bok born and raised in probably and arguably the world's best kitespot - Cape Town..

The place rocks. Awesome weather over summer, awesome surfing in winter, bustling nightlife, beautiful scenery and all the blue sky and outdoor activities one could wish for...

but why is it then that so many young white south africans are moving to the UK??? I'll tell you why, the grass is not always greener on the other side..

Crime, people breaking into your houses so that they can buy bread for their families (and God help u if u or your missus is home when they break in), your personal car being broken into every 3-4 months for the latest sterio u've just had installed or a cheap jersey just to keep a streetkid warm at night, affirmative action where your degree means nothing as a black underpriviliged person will always get a job over you..see what i mean? just a few things to consider when dreaming about living overseas at all of these dreamlike kitemag destinations..that's just South Africa, don't even get me started on Rio, Brazil where my mum lived for more than 25 years on Copacabana Beach..I know all about it and all the stories that go with it..

In summary, i'd have to say that Cape Town and a small handful of other spots are tip top, but Ynyslas really is one helluva safe, friendly and cool spot!!!

I'm with Col, I've cleared monday at work and if the promising outlook continues I'll be up sun night or monday morning.

I'm guessing no-one's about over the weekend coz it looks pretty pants?

When you about Dunk?
