Fab set up there ! However have you realised you face will hurt soon after you take it out for a good thrashing ?- these boats are known for the HUGE grin that you will end up with about ten seconds into any trip out .....= achy face :)

Roll on summer :)

Yeah, I'm trying to get in loads of practice! unfortunately I've only had it out once so far, the weather's not been too favourable however first may bank holiday I'll be heading down to Durdle Door, south Wales for the 2nd bank holiday and then the famous Bristol to Penarth run in June! So looking forwards to lots of outing and trying not to think of fuel costs!
