Done some updates tonight.

Went to get some new gloves for next weekend, so headed down to Graham at Wet&Dry Boardsports.

Came home with the latest 3mm offering from ION, these are dead warm and comfy. Also are made with the fingers already bent especially for kite surfing, so ideal for use with buggy handles i thought



Also see these DaKine kite surfing adjustable footstraps and had an idea to modify them to fit my buggy. So cam home and set to work. They fit awesome and really feel super snug. Well chuffed




Also recieved my Petzl mini ****** block roller (Cheers Active-8) so now completes the captive system. Shortened my strops and jobs a goodun.



For those that may also notice i got a ball bearing in the linkage that is just free enough to slide. This will stop the release sliding to the other side of the gate and wont fall out without seriously jamming open the catch and prying it out. Tried every which way to get this to fail in some way but it just wont. So should be bombproof.



Clean and clutter free

Im playing Golf saturday buddy So that's me out !!

However ...

Im leaving ESC Hq @ 6.45am Sunday morning @ heading down to Southampton to collect " Tinyphoon " @ ETA - 9am

Im then heading from there to Barleylands to test her out , Though the forecast both weather & wind does not look to clever for either day , but Sunday does the best of the two if a choice has to be made

Okies dude , understand , mind that thumb print


I Hope to be back @ BL By about midday on sunday mate

Had a change of plan regarding using it @ Camber now , I'm going to put the hold on getting it painted , fitting the new seat , fitting the new siderail covers until after camber now , think it's going to be messy down there , wet sand , sea water etc ..

I'll be if me new buggy gets dirty on its first trip out , so just going to use it as it comes & then strip get painted fit all new bits & then get out over BL with it all new & shiny

Need to get all the above done though (new stuff ) So it does not run over a weekend just in case i miss a day bugging

Yeah agree with the speed

Sure you will be able to pull more power through the wide axle mate , But if you stick with the skinny one it will sure feel a bit lairy @ speed

Oh & someones after a wide flexi axle on FF if you were thinking of getting shot of it @ any time
