6534 Beach Bandit - LEGO Island Xtreme Stunts Edition

One day, I happened to see 6534 Beach Bandit in Brickset's random set section. After looking at it for a while, I remembered that I had a sail and mast in 6734 Beach Cruisers, and the surfboard in 6737 Wake Rider. One LDD concept and one BrickLink order later, I had my finished MOC. It looks quite different from the original Beach Bandit, with a larger size, suspension on both the front and rear, more lights, side mirrors (made with this locking hinge part), and a windscreen.

Here is the buggy and windsurfer, completely assembled.

Here is the buggy with the windsurfer disassembled and mounted. The life jacket hangs on the hook in the back, just as in the original Beach Bandit.

Here is the LDD file, from which instructions can be generated. Please note: I had to mock up the suspension elements and minifigure decorations in the LDD file.

P.S. Rather than the DSLR camera I have used to take pictures of MOCs in the past, I tried using my newly acquired Nokia Lumia 920 for these pictures. They were cropped and edited on the phone itself before being transferred to my computer for minimal processing (primarily renaming and resizing). I think they turned out great, once I learned not to use the phone's digital zoom. What do you think?

That's a strong update of an older set.
