Great report Kev – one of your best, gallant ambassador to our sport.

Well done to Stormin Norman, too. That launch looks pretty hairy for a hobie.

Great effort Stormin, I 've got an outback and I've nearly been tipped out is small waves in Adelaide. To get out unscathed there is a fantastic job.

The only reason I have a seat kanga is because I own a BFS and it is a bit big for me. By putting in the seat it moved my bum forward about 10cm which made it much easier for me to reach the foot blocks.

I'm thinking of selling it and buying a Supalite, it'd suit my height a lot better.

When I first got my Supalite I tried it a few times without a seat and found that for the first time ever I started getting an aching back. I had a spare high backed seat so whacked that in and the problem disappeared. It's nice to be able to lean back into the backrest. The darned thing is as comfortable at sea as my armchair is at home.
