A surfboard bicycle trailer
Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me with a few questions?i'm currently trying to source a few designs for a trailer for my surfboard which is over 7 foot, i'm just wondering if anyone knows some good sites on designing your own trailer, i live near a beach and i figure since i don't drive i could use my bike to transport the board, i don't wanna use a side carrying rack as i think it would turn my bike into a giant sail,and the beach is approx. 2 miles away so comfort and ease are a must, also i need to attach a security box to the trailer for storing gear and clothes etc.So any info would be appreciated,thanks in advance.

Bike cargo trailer...
Im sure if you turn this cargo bike trailer into a box,you'll have a lockable gear box.
Extend and reinforce the arm from box to bike,to provide a platform,to bungie your board onto.Youve got your self Surf board transport. Hope this helps. I built the cargo trailer for my bike last week at a cost of 15euro,for the nuts and bolts,shackel,and eye.Steel drill bits.Im sure you'll get a better price in a local hardware. Email if you want details. Happy days Also have a look at google images surfboard trailer. N.b. go for inflatable tyres taken off a scrapped kids bike.Better bounce,on irish roads.

this guy does a good demo making one himself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ0DM...eature=related I was looking more at the carver myself but not sure about customs: http://www.carversurfracks.com/csrmini.html any trailers i came across were pretty expensive |
