Need a Kite - The Hull Truth

LATROUT · 09-30-2009, 04:49 PM

Anyone if in the Lafayette, BR area have a kite I can borrow for the weekend. Will drive to either location and pick up. Will pay a full price deposit if anything happens to it and will fed-ex it back monday AM. Or will buy one from someone in the area if can get it by Friday.
My only chance at getting one by Saturday so had to give it a try.

Thanks
Jeff

I have one, but I'm in larose. Never used AFTCO kite. I'll have to double check to be sure I haven't gotten rid of it already. Might help if you're headed this way anyway

I can get someone to pick it up tomorrow if you"re gonna be in the area he works for Danos., and is headed back this way tomorrow. What you want for it?

Superior doesn't sell them LA??

I would get your helium tank for the balloons from Louisiana Beverage in New Orleans. They are the sole wholesaler for the state and can save you a fortune if you want to use kites on a non-windy day.

Superior doesn't have any right now. Have one on order, but won't be here in time. Sunday might a blow out anyway.

I rent mine out, the usual rates are $20/day for kite, 10/day for rigged kite rod and reel . There is a three day minimum. My helium cylinder rents for 5/day and helium is charged at 5/ balloon full limited to max of 30" balloon.
Oh, balloon lessons are available by the hour.
There will be a $10 cleaning fee.

LA, I just got your message. I may not be able to get to it until later today if that's ok. No charge, maybe a tuna steak

I'd have to check to see if I have it as well. I will let you know ASAP
