They do make skateboards, I dunno about bike stuff.
Good guesses, but still not it.

I'll give you a hint. It's not a 30 foot long propeller shaft that they make for the Navy.
Ok, that's not a hint at all. I just wanted to tell about something else they make.

Lynn and I flew with Mike this afternoon at Huntington Beach. He told me what the object is.

Not part of a kayak paddle.

Can't tell, Jim :revspin:

It is the rubber grip for one of a set of new, really BIG rev handles.
Do you want a new kite? Build one! Enjoy it three ways, planning, construction, flying.

It's a great satisfaction knowing that for a brief point in time you made a difference.

My guess is that it is a carbon tube. It might be aimed at the kite surfing market.

John

In his right hand is a ferrule, maybe carbon, for a Super Blast 4-8.
In his left hand is a stainless ferrule for the early REV I and II's from about the era 1989-1992.

I hope to make it there, but I am not sure whether it will be either Saturday or Sunday.
