Seriously, it's the second time this season someone grabs my pump at the upper launch while I'm on the water and then doesn't return it back to where they "found" it. I spent 5 minutes looking for my pump this saturday and found it 50 yards away from my bag. I don't care if you use my pump, but please put it back where you found it!
If worrying about your pump is what keeps ya up at night then I would say life is good!

probably didn't pump up and down in a straight motion. Anything I know now is that the pump doesn't pump on the last 5 inches. :cry:
I know that those pump don't necessary last long and they're not that expensive, but damn, if anybody has to brake my equipment it should be me! :roll:
