Yeah I guess we'll have to settle with the paddle next to the cliffs while we get some 25kg schoolies, it's gonna be a tough tripJordo wrote:Wish I could have both, like the girl in the taco ad, unfortunately I cant be in two places at once.

Jordo/Nello,
SWR in 2016 is likely to be the 2/4 to 10/4, which is after Easter. So maybe do both?

Re: my evo 495, first go and modifications
I've been looking at making something to support my kayak more on the roof racks and tossing up between a couple ideas, at first I had the idea to make something that bolted onto the roof racks, then thought of adding a third roof rack but those ideas were both fairly difficult and expensive.
So I ended up deciding to make a tradie H frame for the front of the car and have it bolted onto my nudge bar. Turns out that my old trampoline has been sitting at my grandparents being unused and my nana wanted to clean up the place and throw out some things, so my pop and I decided to recycle the steel from the trampoline for the H frame. We managed to make the frame detachable by using pieces that used to slot in together on the trampoline, therefore the H frame is detachable making it convenient to remove it when not in use.
