Nolan thankyou

What a great idea for me!:

I've got a small kayak that may have to travel distances over the ground and I was mulling over how to do this most effectively with minimal work - you've cracked it!

Now surfyak has two heavy duty skegs at the back, so all I'd need to do is to drill a 1/4" hole near the bottom of each skeg, thread thru an axle, attach a couple of wheels and I'm in business. The skegs would have to lock, and removing and attaching the wheels might be a little awkward but so what?

Neat idea and thanks
