    Removed Graphics from Q4

    Did something that I've been putting off for a long time. The Go Faster stripes on the side of my Q4 were damaged in places (not my fault) and I removed them at the beach yesterday. I then spent about 3 hours at home cleaning off the residue adhesive and gave her a polish. I think she looks...

    I need your advice and opinions on foot position on a wakeboard. I assume that the best position to start with would be similar to your natural stance/angle while standing. My son has just started boarding and can get up and stay up no problem but he has the bindings as they came out the box...

    How should I deal with these waves next time?

    I really got caught out the other day. We launched early, my son did some wakeboarding then we settled on Jumeira Island for lunch and decided to leave about 3pm. Half way back to the dock the sea was turning pretty rough compared to what I am used to. All the while we were only 1km max from...

    Are there any of you based in Dubai or the UAE?

    It would be great to hear from any boaters out there who are based here in Dubai. From what I can gather this excellent forum has members mainly from the USA. Or am I wrong? It would also be great to know where you are based if not in the States or Dubai.
