Taz, Tera Bug, anything but an oppie

 

really most kids hate them, get bored with oppies really fast unless they get really good training and race alot.

 

if she want to go down the race route then get a Tera, the diferent sail options means you buy new sails not a new boat.

 

id get the bug, she looks happy in it

Go for it Nigel!  you'll soon know what it will be like to be a 3 boat familly.

Yes the bug can easilly carry adults. I tested the bug at Alton (i was 15 at the time lol). I found it to have plenty of space for me and it was again proven as the 15stone centre manager jumped in a pottered round the res. My brother and i jumped in a oppie and a taz (  it was quite a laugh) and raced him around. The bug easilly out performed the others even though we only weighed 10 stone each.

Well worth buying for miss webmuppet !

If not you could get her a 600 as were builing up a fleet atm at alton

Perhaps I'm warming to the idea of a Bug LOL
