Well, just an idea.



Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

The questions/thoughts that immediately jump to mind are:

  • Do you encounter more than 6.6 lbs in gusty cross-winds.
  • One of the nice things about the blow-out valves on the Access is that they don't need to be re-set/zippers and they are on the underside of the canopy where then don't significantly impair normal flight.


ATB,
