I normally don't like posting shit - But this goes out to the Riders at Rufus Yesterday... Between 2-3'ish pm.............

IF you Fuck'n see someone in the water frantically waving there hands in the air - yelling and needing help............ You fuck'n help them....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even a single pass-by and ask them "Are you ok..?"
Or... show them a thumbs up or down....?
Never waite and assume everything is going to be ok...

If you saw what I'm talking about and you did nothing than your a pussy and you need to find another sport...!!!!


There is no Exceptions to this rule...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Thanks Bryan...
A true class-act for helping that lady who couldn't relaunch....
I'll try to get out there sooner next time - even if I have to tomahawk any kites to get there faster....
And props to the dude who was trying to help getting her board back....

Tony's right on here... Not a very good showing yesterday at rufus. A person is waving her arms in the air screaming help me about 30 yards from the rock pile and people just stand there with their heads up their asses. One guy told my wife, "she'll be fine, she just needs to re-launch her kite". Hard to do when the current is ripping, the person is in panic mode and exhausted, her kite has rolled and inverted, oh and she's in a wind shadow. What a bunch of tools yesterday!!! She may have been fine, floated to the bank, but the lack of urgency, or even recognition for someone in distress made me sick..

It makes me feel sick just reading this. ALWAYS offer to help! What kind of people are you when you see someone in a scared or potentially bad situation and you stare and/or do nothing? Disgusting and pathetic.... If you didn't offer help to her you should be ashamed of yourself. Asses.

I bet most of those doing nothing were Canadians. They just don't get things that fast.

Are you sure it was Chinese? Could have been one of those " undocumented" migrant workers from a nearby farm inner tubing the river...........Or Mexican Tony.
