Not sure if I mentioned it but I got a cracked rib a couple of weeks back. not from wingsurfing or anything, but at a mates stag doo GoKarting. Dammit it hurt. so the last three weeks I've been too chicken to get on a board. However I spent part of today checking out my kit.
My Beachracer is in a bad way I'd not looked at it for a few weeks and when I did, the back wheel had siezed completely. The cheapo useless Bke Hut Hydraulic disk brake had locked solid. and the disk rotor had started going rusty. So, I took things appart as best I could (cant get the pads out, and even if I could Halfords have no idea, or at least are not willing to tell me where to get new pads.) Anyway, I cleaned it all up and at least got the wheel going round!.
Then I noticed that several spokes in the from t wheel had gone (corroded through ). So I took these off and cleaned up as best I could. Need to get some replacements... I also made a few notes on the site and added it to the "If its Broke..." section.
Also noticed that there is a LOT of play in the front swing arm bearings.... hey ho lots to do before I go riding again on the ole beachracer..

Wingsurfing is a new extreme sport that harnesses the power of the wind using a hand-held wing, the Kitewing, while the rider stands on a 2 wheel inline board, the Dirtsurfer.
