Well guys this weekend is another storm 40-45mphwind gusts to 60! on sat the 23rd! and into sunday. Hopefully there will be a break in the rain so I can get out! It will be a little wet but you can't have everything right? Looks like goggles for me since I dont have a splash guard! Dam, I always need something.:borg: Dan hang on to your new gloves!

if you got a grinding face shield laying about... rip off the head band drill two holes on top top fashion zip ties the side already has the holes to zip tie to the forks should look something like this....

also it can be extended down with another section of rubber or plastic via pop rivets... then slap an OZONE stick-er on that puppy and your all set


I have a break in the weather right now w/ 20mph winds and I should be down on the beach riding but I 'm e-shopping for a new sewing machine to replace my boken one:(

Well of course you could go inflatable, but PL Arcs and Flysurfers deal with the rain better then any other foil.
