Family is defiantly a No No....
If he is going to do work for you make it job for pay no long term stuff. But If it was my family I would give "them enough info to stay away from the scams" and give them pointers to the right resource and boards and at the same time listen to them as they are more likely in touch with real surfers than we are after doing this for Years, and you can both benefit.
have to excuse any comments from me as I'm PUI (posting wile intoxicated
)
