Nice kicker in the kiddy poo-l

I was fin free when i hit it, but i reckon fins are fine. as you saw it parallel PVC pipe, probably made so fin run up channels.

Yeah, it would be good if you could take the fins out just in case it catches... unless you have a big rocker on your board then it won't work that great.

Pics?

That's a shame. The wind just came back this week too

I've been thinking about permanent sliders etc, I think may need council permission or they will just remove it again?

Maybe could make something yellow, that somehow drops in over the existing marker, turning it into a floating kicker.

the plastic conduits leave big white marks on the bottom of board, maybe a sheet of white hard nylon similar to a butchers chopping block would be better.

Anyway, would be good to do it right, and have something that lasts for few years.

Does anybody know if there is spare yellow markers in council storage?
If so it would be easier to build around and then just do a swap out.

I think that's the second one they have removed this summer. There was one hidden in the bushes that I saw them dismantling a few months ago.

A mate of mine had a kicker in a river for a while, but was told to remove it by NSW Maritime. Only way he was going to be allowed to leave it in is if he had it registered as a vessel (like a pontoon etc).

To do it at St Kilda, I suspect you'd have to talk to Parks Vic, Council etc.

Big eeeZeee said...
saw a fellow kiter ripping the altona one apart. He obviously didn't agree with it

ps if you're worried about the bottom of your board you should not be hitting kickers... just saying

Just coz you don't like hitting kickers is not a good reason to destroy? Maybe it was in a really bad spot? Or guy who destoryed it has bigger issues in life?

I'm not worried about bottom of board, but there is better surfaces that will not only last better and leave less marks..
I actually like a few slider marks, make my board look tougher, lol.

What should we name the 2013/14 kicker/vessel.

Suggestions?

would a slider be more fun?
