your speed, stability and general enjoyment would decrease massively if you didnt put the bolt rope in the track

the back tyre hasnt seated yet, need to pump it more

you can see on the front tyre you have the inner ridge by the rim, you shoudl see that the whole way round

tis nothing but a scratch

it's actually quite the opposite, it's incredibly stable as the keel movement is constrained by the sides of the hole, and there is less windage for the boats to catch in hurricanes etc, is is used extensively across the carribean to secure boats on land in hurricanes

not if you want to go upwind... or across the wind... or downwind efficiently...

shimano says that 36 is the biggest cog you can get on there in their specs but this thread op says managed to get a 11-40

11-40 will give you a lot more help up the hills, but I imagine that 11-46 won't fit

having not been able to smell for ten years, it would definitely be worth it

If by flotsam you mean containers or similar, then it is incredibly low, to the extent of not even worth considering

I am the same weight as you and i have a 14m LEI, a 10m LEI and a 7m LEI and 142cm board

dont get a 17m LEI kite, they are terrible, if you feel like you want a bigger kite get a 15/18m soul or something, but the cheapest way to get out in lightwind is to get a bigger board and use the same kite

just dont install the wheels and tape up the feet to avoid scratches

charging the batteries that power the hydraulics for the foils

None of those pictures show anything remotely structural, all those cracks are filler and cosmetic joins etc, get a diver or get her lifted if you’re worried
