The last time I tried to take one all the way in with a 180 I had to gut it to remove sand from all the barrel bearing. Wonder if the kick up handles sand any better.

I'd imagine worse, the more parts that move the more areas sand can complicate. After my first rebuild I never use my drive coming in or let it sit in the sand. the 2 just dont mix well.

If you ever jam it up with sand, just dip it in the water and pedal back a forth a few times, it should all fall out. I've been pedaling all the way in and out for years just use the bungee on the crank and lift the bow a bit when you drag it up on the beach.

Currently not available as a retrofit. I have heard it will likely be in the future.

I tried that, with it mixed in with the grease I don’t see how it could just fall out.

New Outback
Damn. I can now justify the new upgrade from the 2016 Outback.

Surf Launch and Landing La Jolla Surf with the MIRAGE DRIVE IN
Here's a short video of a La Jolla Launch and Landing from May this year using the Mirage Drive. No need to take it out and it gives you a lot more speed to get out of the kill zone whether you use the paddle or not. MAKE SURE TO USE THE BUNGEE!
