What would you pack??


Hello flyers

Just Want to get a few ideas from some kiters out there.
Apart from the kite and mandatory accessories what do you pack in you kite bag?
Would be interesting see what people pull out their bags.

Orange plastic cones as markers for kite lines (parked kite) to keep people from tripping or to keep beach patrol from running them over
