OK Larry so you finally admit I had to do all the work that day, it's bout time you admit the truth after years of denial. The way I remember you telling people is that you worked very hard keeping the kite in the air. I personally never thought the checking of kite string tension was work. I will have to keep a copy of your true version you sent to paddlewise to give to a few people, got ya. I guess Larry is a true gentleman when he said "we'd broken the rudder" actually that was my fault for forgetting to lift it before beaching. Could blame it on the large surf and darkness but I won't, I simply forgot to lift the rudder. The day Larry described was awesome we were in five to seven foot sea swells. We were being pulled by the wind on the worlds longest roller coaster.
