My answer from this day is "NO!"
Seriously though $40 bucks a pop I am done!
I have had 2 pumps stolen while I was riding this season
I regularly find my pump out of my kite bag 50M up the beach
I find my pump only pumps one way
Anyone else feeling this?
... yep!
Took 2 brand new never used pumps away on holidays, day one a euro asked, 'can I use your pump, I didn't bring one'. Ummm,,,,, yeah ok (big mistake!). Later that day I find the pump broken and left exactly where the douche was pumping up. I went to rig up another kite, found my other pump was gone. WTF, did that f@cking prick take my pump???? I spent the rest of my trip guarding my dodgey fixed up pump!
Mind you karma must have seen what went on, I found an Ozone pump, and for 3 days I lugged this thing around asking every one, who owns it. No one owned it and I ended up taking it home,,,, and its still going, 7 months later. Funny thing, the pump looked like crap but the damn the thing worked great!! Ironic hey!
Yah I didn't bring it on this trip, it takes up to much room in my luggage
Well hello, we all got the same problem 
yes you can as long as i can borrow your girl friend for the same amount of time.
they usually walk away with a strange look on there face or is just that i am ugly.
$5 on local recycling depot. Still going very strong.
But, yes, my answer: sorry only Cab compatible nozzle:) Which is on my kite.
So none of you guys has ever forgotten your pump, or asked to borrow somebody's huh? Never? I hear ya when you say douchebags use it and either leave it laying on the sand , or take it. That's just not on. But c'mon, it's supposed to be a community. I've lent mine many times before and appreciate when someone does the same in return. Douchebags are douchebags, don't paint everyone with the same brush.
^^^^^
You can keep my ex and I wont even borrow your pump.
In fact, keep her away from me and I'll give you a pump
I'm happy for anyone to borrow my pump, even if they just grab it while I'm out on the water. Hey, it's only a pump...
Do you forget your kite? Harness? Board?
Dont forget your pump then.
I know its a bit precious but Im over it now. If I know you you can borrow because I know you will respect my equipment.
Pinch of salt folks.
Do lend people your pump. One day you will forget or yours will break. It's a rule of the sea like rescuing people.
Don't leave your sh.t lying around on the beach. It gets in the way and it's your own fault if it gets stolen.
And when I was at school people would always ask to borrow my eraser! Sooooo annoying!
More than happy to lend mine out.
Once upon a time I turned up, only one other kiter just getting in his car, realised I forgot my pump, ask to quickly use his. He says 'sure, here's my address, I've gotta run but drop it of when you're done'! If I'm ever on jury duty and he turns up you can bet ill be pushing to get him off.
serioussly i cant understand even contemplating going kiting without taking a pump??? i would understand a brain fart every now and then by someone who forget to bring a pump and would gladly lend mine, but i would expect it to be returned straight away and clean and in a working condition, and when i travel o/s sure i dont bother taking one, as my first stop is the local hardware store or kite shop and i spend the huge $40 it might cost me to get one, spend some cash you tight ass, you wouldnt blink an eye at spending some cash on your E's, dope or grog!!!, hmm maybe you guys who get asked all the time should have a special euro/backpacker pump set aside which is filled with glass shavings, cruel, but would be funny to watch, and they would never ask again!
I had a Euro Windsurfer borrow mine the other day....
After he pumped up his camper mattress he did return it.
Total misuse tho. But no damage...
Keep mine attached to my kite bag. Forgot it once epic wind and swell no one else around. Never again.
Lent my pump out heaps of times.
Borrowed pumps from others too plenty of times.
As long as it gets put back, who cares its only a pump .........
I left my pump at Safety Bay about 10 years ago, if you have it please send it to dbabicwa
Lots of angry people.
I lend my pump while i'm setting up. Then everything that i'm not using gets stashed back in my car and i ride.
Calling a stranger a mate, perplexes me. 'Can i borrow your pump Mate' is also poor English and impolite. Firstly i may share a common sport but that does not mean i am your mate. Secondly, where are your manners. So unless you say 'May i borrow your pump please' I should be inclined to send your hide back to school and carry on with my day.
meone bet me too it
