  8. I have the 12m speed2 and as much as I love the kite, I hate using it when its really gusty. It has great depower, but i find when a big gusts punches though after a lull it pulls me off my edge. Could be my bad technique though

    Tipping

    For two reasons, one is to incentivise staff to give you the customer a good service as the level of their reward depends on the quality of their service and level of attentiveness to you the customer. Bad waiters get bad tips and good waiters get good tips. Performance related pay exists in many spectrums. And the other is to do with tax; if the restaurant wants to pay their staff £1 more on their take home pay they need to charge you enough to cover the PAYE, Employees NI, Employers NI. That would cost them £1.77 in total. So they need to charge you more to do that. By charging you more they have to pay VAT on their takings before having enough to pay the increased wages, Paye & NI. So that £1.77 becomes £2.08. It is wrong that many resuarants use the service charge to top up wages to the basic minimum. Refuse to pay the service charge and they can’t do that. Just tip the waiter, in cash, directly
  24. looks like i'm going to have to keep it then and find another way to raise the cash for the psycho4. oh well, what a shame:D
  25. Hi Lem, The mystic drysuit has a plastic zipper. Have heard of reliability issues but i think that is down to using the wrong kind of lubricant/wax on them. I have an OR dryuit and have had no issues with it at all. cheers
