Ride it for a day.. then wash and tinker for a week!! By that time its windy again!

No wind no worries. Every kiter must have another way of getting ya rocks off or youll go mad!

That pic brings back memories , have raced motocross over the years and actuality was one of the founding members of the Coolum club, But i find the mind wants but the body cant ,and the ground gets harder and harder even though Coolum is lomey sand. O those marginal days!

Hey Taxi

A good suggestion for all board people going insane,

Buy a cheap skateboard & starting carving it up at your local skate bowl. Usually theres one not too far away and the grommits are always happy to share unless you drop in on them then them 7year olds will dish you out some pain by cuttin you off makin you fall headfirst in - instead of drop in
Itll improve your kiteing skills alot too..

Play fair and remember to share

Worked well for me - in the end

Another option is SUP this is also good if the waves are marginal.

No wind no worries!

I can see the bike is just cleaned hence the butt plug. But can't help but wonder if its ever been ridden... That is one clean bike. I'm very jealous. [}:)]

^^^ Its done about about 52hrs work scince the start of 08. It cost me a $hit load so I try and keep it up to scratch. In that pic its only probly done half that.

I had just finished puting a bigbore kit in and a new performance cam and a new exahust so I went all out with a sticker kit to set it all off

My advise stick to SUP for those Marginal wind day's its cheeper and dosnt hurt as much when you fall off lol!

Any other Sunnycoast crew got bikes??

A few of us are heading out for a strap tomorrow if the wind dosnt come in.

Hayden just picked up his KTM and is stinging to hit the track!
