andi - bastard, I'm still waiting for flexifoil to send my kite, although to be fair I did only just finish all the work they wanted me to do (check out their new discussion board at www.flexifoil.com). Still, blouberg looks like it rocks - I'll be asking your for hints when it comes. although obviously not being an absolute fool I plan to get some serious training before I venture into the big blue. (by the way I know we've never met, but surely its only a matter of time...) speaking of which - hey dan, cool to have met you in person now too...

anyway I'm back in cpt and despite being technically winter its a damn site warmer (and generally kiff). hope the international and national brethren are keeping well... looking forward to you all coming down come summer....
