Anyone used one of these for transporting a sup ... pros and cons? Board will be about 8'6 by 32

Many surfers here use them for transporting short boards. Occasionally longboards but I have never seen a SUP carried that way. The thickness of the board and size makes it problamatic. I transport my surf SUPs all the time by bike but use a simple trailer that I made. The board however needs to be in a bag for this trailer to work.

stay of the bike Mick, there's already too many around your area

Traffic is killing me mate. Not to mention the numbers in the water.

Mick,

I tried one for my old hokua..9'1x32. Didnt work and if the wind caught it you were gone! I made up a trailer unit to toe behind the bike but have never used it. I just get up early ...

My two cents.
Had a long ride to the beach as a kid in the 80's. Once the boards get over about 7ft you have to go the trolley.
We made many of varying success. Keep it simple, light and the weight down as low as you can. If you go with mates one poor bastard tows everybodies to the beach or worse home. Trolleys are easy to roll over when you get too enthusiastic, with devastating damage to uncovered rails and fins! Any slop in the way your hitch it to your bike is a real pain when you are pushing hard.
