Anybody have spare kiteboard parts?

I'm sitting here looking at Marcus on the couch at Baja Joe's waiting for part's for his truck. It looks like it may be a few weeks! Nobody has parts down here, at least he can kite almost everyday until he get's a call from Raulle the mechanic telling him it's ready. He's in pretty good spirits considering. The sun has came out and it has been a great trip! We were soooo glad to make it to "BURNING BUSH" I hope to see some pictures posted from Berrisbob!
Cheers from Kev & Ty.....

Sounds like everyone down there has been having a killer time. I was able to hit Los Barilles for a few days the week before last, but alas the trip was too short... isn't it always? Wind was good though...

Bobby, my boards are coming along more slowly as I await parts. Also, the type of wood I'm using now is way more high-tech and expensive, but it doesn't hold the rocker as well as other types of wood. I figure a few months and they'll be done (I currently have three in production). It sounds like marcus is still waiting on his truck. I told him he should just buy a beat-up mexican car for a few hundred dollars, but he likes his truck too much to abandon it down there. Hopefully we get enough wind for the 720's. Alameda barely has enough to make it around once. What kind of moves are you working on?

Another classic example of 3ed world thinking, corruption and incompatance:

Here people drive some of the worst peices of... .
The Bahaman economy is almost intirely funded by DUTY (import duty) so even some REALLY-REALLY rich folks rebell and refuse to get new stuff that actually works (cars, boats, bikes, washing machines etc.......). The "regular" Bahaman dosn't import all that much and when they do they attempt to smuggle it somehow, there contribution is almost nell. Local wheeler-dealers (contractors, real estate persons etc..fiscally raping the 2ed,3ed,4th,5th home owners) tend to drive nice cars and look productive but hardly get anything done becouse they refuse to buy good equipment, tools etc...,instead they just pass on there "losses" to the end users (non' Bahaman's get billed for all the lost time for employees, repair bills for failed equipment etc, etc, ect..) The local "supplyers" are more then happy to take your deposit then drag there "customers" into court for "UNLAWFULL DISMISSAL" if there "services" are terminited. And all the while they refuse to "allow" people like me to even volunteer to help rebuild there schools, instead they wait for the "Silk Sleeve's" to donate enough money to put Bahamans to work- who then get very little done for the money...... BTW: Bahamans with "it going on" dont actually work with there hands instead they get Haitians (whos work premits they OWN) to do all the heavy lifting. Haitians with actual work premits are practailly "owned" by there Bahaman "sponcers" and its illegal for non-Bahamans to hire non-Bahamans directly. It's like goverment sponcered slavery.. The whole system is broken and if it wasn't so sick it would be funny!
What I do find funny is to see/hear EX-PAT's deal with local's screwing them over and over, knowing they have jets/airplanes, boats with captains and crew etc.. sitting around for GOD knows how much money day after day. Those that refuse to pay duty for new stuff just becouse it's "MORE TAXES" I have NO SIMPATHY for, I know they are the ones that refused to pay there fare share of taxes in the 1st world also..
and so it goes, and so it goes..

So I sit around waiting for Mother Nature to provide wind, watching reruns of law and order, I'm simply another commoner, a common "TV-setter", amused by the trails and tribulations of the Jet-Set dealing with the terd'world.

my trip to Pete's Pub was a bust..
I went to watch my friend play in a band, but I timed out.
next my kite session floped as I dropped the pig into the surf..
The day finished up with a wench flashing her (RATHER LOVEY) hooters at the crowd who was bidding on her for a date...
What a day,
L.M.G.

Goobe, right now I'm working on not crying too hard as i wait for wind

Other than that I'm sitting on my ass.

I'm glad to hear your trip to La Ventana was great. Kev gave me a mini update via PM. That's solid, sounds like the wind was great!
