Did you get your board sorted out? I'm off to meet Kitesurfer to give him one of my boards to copy in about a week and a half........
If you want me to drop yours off, let me know

[jennie]

Na i havent got it sorted yet...that board has been nothing but trouble since i got it.

The shop who said they would repair it weeks ago havent and i spoke to the guy today who said it wont be done for a couple of months...so sod that. I havent heard from the courier company who were suposed to be paying out some compensation and i still havent tracked down the driver,

I will try and speak to kite surfer and see if its an option

Cheers Pat

Hey, I wouldn't mind some company on the long journey if you can get down to surrey. It's 35mins (and £6 return - not that you'd need a day return!) from london victoria on the train. Will you be bringing your own board? I can put it on top of the car with mine, but you may need your own straps cuz mine are only single and I've never tried it with two boards before. let me know if you wanna car share. x

you may need your own straps cuz mine are only single and I've never tried it with two boards before.

Single straps can hold loads of boards. Ive had four boards in a single set of straps with no problems whatsoever. just remember fins forward and upwards for all boards and they 'lock' together

Hey dbbb I know this probably sounds like a stupid question , but what do you mean about fins forward? last time I put my board on the car upside down with the fins sticking up, but at the rear, hanging over the boot. Do you mean forward as in fins at the front of the car? And with two boards on a tiny car do you just put the longest on the bottom and the other on top but infront of the larger one (ie not over the fins) It's all very puzzling for my little brain on a hot day thanks!
