You need plenty of balls to do this!!!!!!!

Goog job. i've taught heaps of peeps with mine. Works great. I just strap the whole beginners board on mine. 1M wide.

I just bought booties and a hood. Actually works a treat. Went out last weekend and I don't think I even shivered.

A roaring success. Here is a video of me practicing tacks and sail flips in prep for duck jibes.
I hope this link works

Finally a use for golf balls.

Ask the person taking the video to hold their phone sideways to get a wide screen picture.

Definitely going to strap a board to it for practice. Just easier to chuck this wooden board in the back of the mini. Also I made the wooden board just big enough to fit my foot in front of the mast. This is to force me to keep my foot next to the mast.

That is impressive!

Should have a sign up - "Honk if you like my Duck Jibe!"

Vulcan attempts start next weekend

"Which orthopaedic surgeon?" thread on Monday

Bet you got some funny looks from the traffic.. great idea.

This should have been a "Winters Coming" thread :D The best time for windskating, inventing and overthinking windsurfing equipment needs :/

I built one of these and attached some bunnings wheels to it.. A pair of directionals for the back and a single dolly for the front.. The trick was to have the mast track in front of the dolly wheel, so the whole setup would pivot nicely.. Two dollys would be better but it's more expensive that way..

This setup is better than a skateboard cause you use the sail to steer, and it replicates freestyle rotations where thr front slides and the fin bites.

Took it to a carpark in about 15 knots and by the time I'd shredded the wheels off and crapped my pants a few times I had worked out flakas, Punetas and Esliders.. Vulcans hurt..

Successful project but I'd never bother doing it again..

My inspiration was Al's Turfdog antics
