I talked to another guy who lost his twinser plugs and his deck pads and Bic
sent him replacements very quickly. They are aware of both problems.

I coated the plugs with a thin layer of silicon glue and then stuck them in.
They have not moved since. I figure if I ever do decide to use the twinser
fins the silicon glue will peel off fairly easy.

After using an "All Purpose Cement" on the pads I got a little worried about
what it would do to the surface of the board but no problems yet. I'm not
sure what type of glue is best.

Bic's base and foot LOOKS like junk to me so I have never used them. Maybe
someone else can comment on the quality. I use the Chinook base and foot.
>How does the Saxo handle upwind?
Great! It really points well.
>Have you tried the slalom pad adjustments on the edges?

Same here.
>Maybe we'll see each other on the water some time.

Yea, I am about ready to try some wave sailing. That's one reason I bought
the board. I drive a red E-150 van and am at 3rd Ave most afternoons so stop
by and say howdy.
Later,
