The seat sits on top of this skateboard (or spine, you choose) and is ultra easy to adjust – 2 thumb screws, that’s it. Amazingly, you don’t need any tools, just your thumbs, and probably your other fingers too if you’re not that good, easy as pie. You can also put in...

But what if I am a ham fisted muppet, then what...? Can I unscrew the thumbscrews with Hams?
(needs to be tested)

Or if I have two left thumbs, will I tighten one thumb screw while loosening another ...:laugh:


Lekker stuff Adrian. That new Detox is exciting and extremely easy on the eye. I'm pretty shallow so looks are important.
The LocoMotion will be perfect for the family for the Saturday morning paddle out on the Zandvlei (not in spring of course....too windy). Excellent concept and brilliantly executed!

And whats next....?


[letter to Fluid: Please please can we have a Touring sit inside that can handle class III as well as double up as a Sea Kayak. Something around 4.4m long, 63 cm wide, weighing about 26Kg featuring the excellent Fluid outfitting and enough storage place to pack a whole sheep for a spit braai on the river]

Well, then you will have to thin out those hammy hands of yours mate :P

It looks like you might have to build on another garage to store more stuff!!! :) hahaha. And explain it to the missus. Jeesh, I think I need to build a 2 bedroomed house with 5 or 6 garages.

The question has already been asked. I mailed your link to the new Fluid boats to her yesterday under teh heading "Xmas Pressie's" and the first question that came back was; "what you selling to make space? A bike or the dogs?"

Damn I love those pooches.......
So I guess a bike it will have to go.

thats half the problem, we're not legally married :)

the paper means nothing bru, they move in, they take over

Make sure you have a special place to which you can retreat. In there sanity prevails.

For most blokes, its the toilet. At my place, its the toy room. :)

Then it's no problem. It's only a problem if you let it become one ;-)

Fluid made their decision on a small versus large on customer feedback. It's up to everyone to mail/phone a manufacturer and complain/request stuff..... :huh: Hopefully there still will be a small. My guess, there will be :laugh:

After a long wait I finally got to paddle the composite Element yesterday, and the day before. Unfortunately the waves were really small but so far it feels frikkin fantastic! :P SO good to paddle it :laugh:

I took some shots yesterday too, here's one of Andrew Pollock:



This week the waves will pick up properly....so I'll definitely get some more photos from the water and probably some video too :)
