What are your thoughts on using sand bags to weight down your kite (temporally of course)? What is the likely hood of them damaging your kite? Steve Nak Since 19 May 2005 4302 Posts Camas Site Lackey CGKA Member Sat Aug 13, 11 11:05 pm     They work great. I use the NSI ones, easy to fill and empty. dancingwind Since 18 Jul 2007 321 Posts Obsessed Sat Aug 13, 11 11:35 pm     Agreed. They work great as long as you make sure that there are no sharp objects on the opposing side of the kite (the ground)! _________________ SAY WHAT YOU MEAN, MEAN WHAT YOU SAY Bettyboarder Since 18 Mar 2005 1823 Posts PDX/ White Salmon XTreme Poster Sun Aug 14, 11 9:09 am     They work but it's just one more thing to carry out _________________ Join the CGKA!

Thanks for the imput everyone. _________________ Steve CGKA Member jackZ Since 13 Apr 2008 355 Posts Devon Alberta ca.

Thanks for the imput everyone. An old windshield washer container full of water works well too and it just slides off no problem . They are 2.99? at walmart and come full of fluid too .

(Don't know where I saw that...) Use it then feed the fish with it, nothing to carry back to the rig.

I thought it was a joke... _________________ I heart dangling unbob Since 31 Aug 2008 260 Posts 'da Gorge/LaV Obsessed Tue Aug 16, 11 7:25 am     Another sandbag idea I use ... "moneybags" - canvas coin bags purchased from a coin dealer. Durable and long-lasting. Fill with sand and close with a plastic cable tie. Simple - cheap. unbob Since 31 Aug 2008 260 Posts 'da Gorge/LaV Obsessed Tue Aug 16, 11 7:26 am     Another sandbag idea I use ... "moneybags" - canvas coin bags purchased from a coin dealer.
