Who finds odd stuff when they go kiting?


The last two times I've been out with the buggy riding around our local soccer field I've stumbled across some finds. I can't say I found anything strange yet, but I found some nice golf balls the time prior and this last time I stumbled across some loose change. Made me wonder what all of you guys have stumbled across when visiting your favorite kite spot.

I found a spar for a Revolution kite at NABX in '12. It was easy to find who it belonged to. Some little guy from Ohio. :cool:

Curious as to how and at what point the determination was made that it was fake? :lol:

I found a really nice axe, a pic of some woman's boobies, an ice screw, a few dead deer here and there, a pin from an Ozone CL release.

I was also curious about how the fakeness of the poo was determined.

Phree has found Zen apparently.

The trick is not to lose it.:P

I left out dead fish, cigarette butts, bear cans and various snowmobile parts.

The axe was a score. Almost hit it at speed, had to fly back 10 miles with it. Of course when you're snowkiting across the lake and 40mph with an axe in your hand you have to let loose a battle cry whenever you approach someone. It was a hell of a sight.

I contemplated kiting with an axe all the the time but Molly didn't think it as great an idea as I did. :(

Exactly.

When i was a kid and saw those album covers I thought they were the coolest damn thing I'd ever seen. Still do.

I buggy along the beach so, lots of old sun damaged fishing line, a commercial long line fishing rope 1200mtrs long, with the floats still on it. (It was buried and took me 2 hours to dig/ pull it out with my 4 wheel drive.)

Heaps of plastic as well. We get a some hard wood driftwood, in huge planks up to 12 mtrs long. I've only got 1 of those.

The odd back packer with all her gear off having a nikky swim. I've found 3 of those, as there are plenty of places to camp along our beaches, and you don't make any noise kiting up to them. :thumbup:

I can't claim I have found it, but this was on the beach I buggy at last December: (Didn't embed the pic, just in case kids or whatever wouldn't like to see...)

http://quayside-windsurfers.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2011...

Kinda sad really..

You would not believe the amount of shoes / sandals I see laying around on the beach!! Nothing very exciting..
