If the fridge has something more hoppy and liquid than 'snacks' you'll suddenly find that Kus is actually very friendly

Hope you get some wind while your here Peter! and... if someone tells you "my 7.5m was fine and i wouldn't fly a 10" they really mean it.

Peter - did you find a source for the replacement valves you need ? What brand of kite and which valves ? I may have some now, or in a day or two will be getting in my spring shipment in with almost every type, except Naish Octo-puss, which are on back-order.
Or ask again and the Victoria kiters can say who in Vic might have some. Philippe at Airtime Boardsports (
http://www.airtimeboardsports.com/ZenCart/ ) in Vancouver may be another option.

Hey Greg!
Im looking for inflation valve and on of those one pump valves (conecting one of the struts).
The kite is 07 ozone instinct sport
I would love to convert the inflation valve to cabrinha one, but at this moment that is not a deal breaker.
Please let me know if you have something (im out of Edmonton currently for few days in Vic)
Thanks,
Piotr

Thanks ALL for the tips!
Hope to see you on the water. I understand that spots in Vic are mostly tricky with tough launch and floating debris.
Thanks,
Piotr
