Light wind day better than no wind...


Always a good sign to end the day with caked sand up your backside and an indistinguishable board...practicing slides....with the old 18M Rhino...

Thanks SW wind Gods....**Note** A little more West next round please...and another 5MPH (picky)...

ROCK ON!!

Ha ha... Looks like a wet sandy beach!

Make sure your bearings are still good before your next run, a day like that is automatic bearing maintenance for me.



fixed bridles, flying static, been two years now... ??? folks must be wondering....

sting 1.7, dp power 2.5, crossfire 3.2, ace 5, blade iv 6.5, ace 8, ace 12...

also a couple of arcs, 12 syn and 12 phanny, but i\'m not yet up to speed on them.

Mood: Land and snow figured out... water?

:smilegrin: nice!

How do you clean that, just hose the whole board down and air dry or what?

Mine was only half as caked as yours, and not with beach sand, but some dirt and grass from a farm field.

Cleaning


Yup,
I just hose it down.
Every couple weeks, or after a good weekend like this, I'll pull the wheels and give a little attention to the bearings...
