TOP 10: Funniest things heard while selling kite gear

Sep 28, 2009

Author: Adam Von Ins

1. Where do you put the fuel?
2. What about all the fish... I mean the sharks... I mean the whales and dolphins... I mean what if you’re afraid of water?
3. I know it’s the most awesome kite, and it’s on sale, but I need something to match my board, what other “styles” do you have?
4. How much food do you take with you?
5. If I carry my fins onboard, do you think airport security will think they’re Chinese weapons?
6. What is this nipple for?
7. Sold... I’ll take the kite and board, do I really have to get the harness?
8. All the lines scare me, can you do it with just one?
9. I’m afraid of heights... do you think I can do this?
10. That’s pretty pricey, what else can you do with it...  I mean the kite does more than just fly, right?
