Hi guys,
It's me again. The insurance company wants documentation as to my involvement in wind sports. Could those of you who know me, or my reputation, drop
a note here to say that I am committed to the wind. This is to help them to decide if they should sponsor me for the purchase of a blokart until I
can kite again.
Thanks
D'Sliddy

lol .... known Kenny for 10+ years.
he's 110% about the wind and the future of our sport locally and internationally.
it would be good too see him in a blokart until he can fly again because i know he's going through withdraw.
see you soon bro.

DirtSlide was a fixture at Garry Point for the three years I have flying there. The first time I came to GP Ken was there with tats, hoops,
infectious smile and a love of kiting that seems to know no bounds. There is no one that I know of more willing to help a newby with a two line foil
or even (gasp) a single liner. A true leader of the kiting community in Vancouver. Our small group needs him back.
Until his accident he was there just about every time I was, after work or weekends. I can not think what he is doing to fill his life now that
kiting is not part of it. I know that sitting and watching us fly must drive him nuts. For me at least a day of kiting is not the same without him.
I am sure he misses us as much as we miss him.
All the best Ken, I hope the blokart comes soon and you will be back with us.

Ken #1 Martin is not only A power kiter but kite wing , dirtsurfer and others wind sports as well.
Ken has been a leader in kite flying in the Vancouver area. He has been the 1st to learn and then teach us most things we have learned. This is why we
chose HIM to be our Rep. for the T.V. exposure we have had. Ken has had other media exposure as well.
Blokart is going to be like the "Ultimate Pill" for Ken.
Feeding his wind
addiction. :wee:
Blokart and buggy people share the same wind and locations. This is an important way for Ken to re-join his friends out riding the wind. :bigok:
