There's nothing wrong with mattress's... matter of fact, I've had some great moments on them FIGJAM! I feel one coming on now!

Juddy.....were you at Leighton today flying the blue and yellow Venom?

Anyhow, to the arc user I saw at Leighton today while drivng home... note that standing on the beach near the club house is not really on. Riding South of the doggie bridge is out of bounds this time of year. Please view WAKSA web site to find local rules.

Juddy....GLS on this forum also has an arc and he knows the local rules.

where do you kite?
Neil Taylor knows most of the crew with arcs,he may be able to hook you up with someone near your local spot.You can ring him between 10-5 at his shop.

don't kid yourself Juddy; it's all envy, I'd have a Venom if the tag wasn't so high

as for Bendigo... there's a few kiters there (not me though; I ran off to the bay) and a number of lakes that have most wind directions covered... when there's any bl00dy water in 'em that is Conditions are almost always gusty so a good kite that can handle those sort of conditions is a must, something like an Arc perhaps.

Tony!

Army boots?!? be buggered! You know damn well that I sleep naked!

hmmm... 25 mins to Hampton.... 25 mins to Brighton, and that's all from work What a way to wait for the traffic to wain away becuse of the bridge works on the WestGate... normaly 40 mins to Altona, when the bridge is open, 60+ for now. Ahhhhgggg.

I might be looking for a break about Feb; some flat water would be nice for a change.

juddy...dropped you a line but didn't hear back!

will call when back from hols!

Hey GLS,yes mate still got my venom & super stoked with it.Rod told me about some simple mods on the arcusers site that will get even more bott. end.Check it out,if you have any queries just ask on the forum as the guys on there are really on to it.

Yeah there's been a lot written on the yahoo arcuser forum lately about the SFS(shorten front strap) mod. Its the easiest and most effective mod I've seen to increase bottom end especially when flying on the window.

For a V13 shorten the front strap by 10cm, the strap right up against the leading edge. You can access the strap through the zips on the middle and outer cells so best to spread the 10cm across all three.

The V2 which has just come out apparently has the mod built in with buckles on the front and rear straps at the centre and wing tips and the front strap isn't sown into each cell so the tightening spreads across several cells.

Email me if you want anymore info as I've saved some diagrams etc from the arcuser group.

PS Juddy I fly at Brighton and North Scarb so feel free to say gday if your down that way.
