I've been shopping. I shouldn't have been... I should be saving for the house. I really needed new shoes though, the old blue van's have been relegated to kite buggy shoes now. I have the new shoes on now to wear them in. I don't think I've ever owned khaki shoes before.
I bought a new phone extension cord because Sasha chewed my other one last night. I also ordered a new kite for my stack. I will soon have 3 excaliburs to fly together. I also booked in a test fly of a 6.3 meter, bent-spine, C-Quad which is second hand and currently being rebuilt at the kite shop. (Apparently the 'bent-spine' means the nose of the kite curls forward slighty which makes for softer power and less luffing.) I have 'first dibs' on buying it when its ready.
I bought some thigh straps for my kayak. Because it is a sit-on-top kayak (a perception-freedom), as opposed to a sit in one, the thigh straps allow you to lock yourself into the seat for better balance and control in whitewater and surf. I'll be able to learn how to roll now. I think a couple of pool practice sessions are needed.
I didn't buy a helmet though. I looked at them in 4 different shops but haven't found one that fits well and is suited to both kayaking and kite buggying. The closest I found was in a skateboarding shop of all places but they didn't have one big enough to accomodate my head! d: (
As I was wandering through 'The Warehouse' I spotted roller skates for sale. Not the inline/rollerblade type, but the old four wheeled 1960's style kind with a modern look. Made in China, the marketing on the box either lost something in the translation from Chinese to English or these skates do some remarkable things...
Create My Mind???? I almost bought some just to see what that would be like! lol
