Just below the cliffs at Bandon Dunes - had to try it.


My favorite part - the complete lack of noise. It's a beautiful thing to have fun without being loud and obnoxious like the ICE kids.

I love Bandon, and I go every year for a tournament. My Avatar is Face Rock. So jealous that I have to wait until February.

Did this at Pacific Beach in Washington and can confirm it was amazing. Car is so well balanced, they did a great job - scared my wife to death, kids thought it was the best thing ever. Did you have any issues with the compressor airing back up? I am seeing a problem where the chuck doesn't make a good seal and so the the pressure goes over the set amount and stops. I've tried the factory provided one and purchased an upgraded version, and both don't work.
No- no issues for me with the compressor. The chuck sealed well (it attaches firmly to the stem - and I can walk away to start the compressor). It took a few tries to get the sequence right [who needs manuals!!] but once I figured out to set the pressure, then hit 'go' it took care of the rest. A few times it would give a quick burst of air, then stop for a few sec, then start again on its own. The first time it did that I panicked and de-attached.

Since then I've inflated paddleboards (to 15psi) with an adaptor I found on amazon. Again no issues. The indicated pressure seems pretty accurate.

Funny, I was just in Bandon, OR kitesurfing about a week ago with some family and friends. Stayed at an Airbnb just north of Sheep Ranch/Bandon Dunes right on the cliff. Too bad you weren't there doing some beach runs while I was out on the beach! We had a truck to ferry back/forth down whiskey run.

Looking forward to another Bandon trip next year, but this time with my R1T. We could get some beach photos then ;)
