ION CS in.. Da Kine has Options and the weather gets a Capital C !



















 Late late late.. Friday night has arrived and I've still not caught up with everything that needed doing in Week No 11 of 2018 ! 

So as is the norm when running late.. there's just time to mention a couple of things before heading home. 
Two new bits of Harness Tech arrived this week.. both for Kites but windsurf options available as well in the first item.
The CS Composite Harness from ION is now out. The model we have gone for is the Freeriders version and the reason for that is that this harness is a fair old piece of kit offering max support! It should suit sailors who are doing long runs or maybe using a foil. It has a new style of harness spreader bar with a quick fit system, easily removable suicide leash and fast adjustable adjustment buckles. It's in a nice burnt orange colourway as well (maybe that is why we went for it??). Price as with all composite harnesses is high.. £299.00 to be exact. we have a Medium and Large if you fancy trying one on.
There is a You Tube Video on the 2018 ION harness range if you are interested.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No3sKcyzBGU
 
Second is the long awaited 2018 DaKine Options spreader bar. It is, as it says, a bar that you chose which way you use it.. use it just as a rope wave spreader, a sliding hook spreader or you can lock the hook to make it semi fixed. This new model has a fast fit buckle for ease of putting on.. and taking off. Three sizes, 8" - 10" - 12". We have just the 10" or 12" in stock. The bar retails at £52.00 and due to the amount of fitting options it 'should ' fit any harness. Spare Ropes also in stock at £10.00.
 
So to the weather and I am sure you are aware that it is once again Crap this weekend (I used a capital C as I think it deserves it!) with a strong possibility of fluttery white stuff during tomorrow and poss into Sunday. Not only will this ruin a perfectly warm week (in comparison to what it has been) but it will also pee off all of those people that like to watch or take part in the infamous Pioneer Motorcycle Run> It starts from Epsom Downs and ends up at Madeira Drive in Brighton. It should be on this Sunday but if the roads are snowboaund or icey I guess they may well cancel (they have had to in the past). I'm working so will miss it whatever.. even though they pass approx 200 yards from my house.. shame! :(
 
The winds are in from the Nor East so it's North Kent Coast or poss Pagham or Pevensey.. but the temps are supposed to be ZERO° so not likely to be much fun apart from when you 'stop' ! Locally our Tides are High at 11.11hrs on a 6m Saturday and Sunday it's 11.45hrs on a 6.1m.
 
That's it.. hopefully this is the last Cold Blast and by next weekend we can start looking at a little fun and sun returning!
Have a Good Weekend.
