Scrub Range Regolith

I've been kiting and buggying for 8 years and with each passing year comes better quality equipment. My current set up includes Predator MkII and Flexifoil Blade III's, used with a Libre Vmax XL buggy.

First little point before I talk about the Regolith is that I'm sick and tired of reading reviews of new kites with people complaining about "stuff sacks". To be honest I'd rather have a brilliant kite like my Predator MkII in its stuff sack and Sky Kites still in business than any fancy backpack with handle pockets, water bottle holder and key pocket.

Right, mini-rant over.

The Regolith.

Bought for £170 through an Ebay shop in Germany. Arrived flat pack with all tools required for assembly. Very impressed by deck, a 9 ply glass fibre and maple composite. Trucks are aluminium channel with adjustable positions for stability. Light weight hubs with 8" wheels.

First day out with the 4.9 Blade III and I was blown away by the stability and speed. No wobbles and an ability to thrash over any minor bumps with trying to throw you.
Reminded me of the first time I took my Vmax out, bomb proof.

It carves like a longboard (maybe just my preferred riding style) but is agile enough to keep you out of trouble. On the few ocassions I've adventured up dunes and off the top the board took the punishment of a couple of heavy landings and a few crashes.

This is a board for adults who have a reasonable amount of skill......definately a big boys toy.

If it was stolen or broken I'd buy another.

Next test is a visit to the hills. Watch this space.
