It's obvious from reading these posts that my experience with Andy is not isolated.
From the time I, as a beginner in the sport, met him, he has extended to me the same friendliness and respect I see him extend to everyone.
Nothing has ever been too much trouble for him to do for me.
I have seen how busy he is in the shop, even on the point, in between sessions he is taking care of business on his phone, Saturday, Sunday, he is helping people to engage in their passion.
Sometimes after getting off the phone to him, or talking with him in the shop, I could feel guilty for taking so much of his time. I know he really wants me to pick the right gear and get the best out of it.
His passion for wind/water sports, and other sports is obvious, he really gets stoked when he sees others enjoying and progressing. He always seems to put others first.
I don't know that I would lend me a kite. Andy does.
I always feel like we do good business.
He's a human being, I guess he has down days. I've never seen choose anything but a positive attitude.
One day I'm going to ask him why, when he sells wetsuits, he still goes out in winter in boardshorts.
Andy, the person you are is borne out in this forum. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you are back under a kite real soon.
Sincerely Best Wishes
John Pirona
Dearest Andy

We'll miss your annual Spring tour to the Sunny Coast this year. A minor speed bump and we'll see you next year bigger and better.

Hi Andrew - john here - just got the info from Paul(you known him as GRUB).
All here at the Carruthers wish you all the very best in a quick recovery.
Andy your a legend down here and the members of Merimbula Sailboard Club wish you a speedy recovery.
You've been a big supporter of annual Merimbula Classic and more often than not a winner himself.Andy you have always been keen to give away a new kite each year to an up and coming kite surfer which must be the bestest thing for a grommie to win.
We're behind you all the way so smash it!!!
John Smythe and Merimbula Sailboard Club
