Gman, what is your job? I would think "Gman" is short for "government man" which usually implies working Monday to Friday 9-5 or something like those hours. You never seem to be at work, and are always at the beach.

I am a gman and work all the time and kite very little except for summer which I kite everyday it is windy because June, July and August are not part of my work contract. But, considering how much you are out there kiting and other rec activities, I want to switch job titles and do what Gman does for work.

So, fess up dude and let us know how do you kite so much???

Question

He told me once, then told me to swallow some memory erasing pill.
Something about being a Gman. Seriously I cant remember.

Its all good thought because he is willing to share the stoke and knows when and where to get the goods..........Something about being a Gman
