Personally find the North / Duotone Entity the best pads / straps out there, loads of adjustability and really comfortable, the latest models also have really nice lateral support for the back of the foot. Have never managed to break any myself but have certainly heard reports of this. Can't imagine...

The Shotgun rides really well but I’d say it’s a pretty stiff board, not a lot of flex even at the tips.

Thanks! Looks like I'm not going anywhere now since the latest rules!

Local area has never been defined so I’m not sure - my closest beach is not far away - much closer than Minehead, but we live about 300m from the Devon border and strictly speaking we were not allowed to go into Devon (which was tier 3) even though there’s a chance we do it every day just walking th...

Yes I know that! Local info about tides, launch sites (apparently can launch at lifeboat station but looks pretty dodgy to me), looks like low tide could be an issue due to estuary mud, exposed rocks and poles etc. Simple enough to work out what winds it works on!

Wave boosting - also my favourite type of kiting. Luckily I’m much better riding waves in one direction and much better boosting the other way so works perfectly...
