When this game was just released, I bashed it...... Now I decided to try it over the weekend and HOLY SHIT!
Now I cant stop playing. The whole Radicals team have bought it and Sim-racing is on pause lol. One of them is away from his house, and is currently playing on his laptop LOL.
Its quite fun and quite addicting (Especially if you have a few friends to play with on voice comms).
YOUUUUUUUUU!! How are ya? Remember the GTR2/PnG headaches? Haha.
Sorry I really don't have an answer for any of your questions (All the mods I have, you just mentioned), but It would be nice to link up with you on track in AC
We don't have much die hard kayakers here. Most paddling is done for leisure both on the rivers and seas.
Paddle boarding is pretty fun in the sea as its miles easier than surfing but you still can paddle out and catch some surf (pretty small) and have great fun.
Me and a few friends paddled out a good kilometer or so from the coast and sat on the boards and had a beer out there.
