Surf trolley
Barmouth Al - 7-10-2003 at 10:34

I'm working too hard to cart my board 'n' stuff down to the water's edge. What I'd really like is a trolley which doesn't necessarily need to fit into a car since I live close enough to the beach to walk. Any recommendations gratefully received.

Tesco's have a nice range

wasn't there a thing called a 'HumpIt'?

I've just done a search and found http://www.canoeing.co.uk/humpit/ although I can't see any prices

Where I go on holiday, loads of people have made their own.

Just got a couple of old wheels from the tip (pram/pushbike etc), made a frame from old bits of wood, covered the top in foam and they just strap their boards on and go!

You mean a trolley like the one in the (hopefully!!) attached pic?

This is one I bought when I lived in Germany, over 15 years ago. All good Germans posess such an item - even to go just 50m!

Haven't seen these advertised in the UK for some time

That looks exactly the same as the ones in the links above, except that yours is a particularly lovely turquiose and pink!!!

They seem to be selling at around £60 at the mo here in the UK, which is just a little too expensive for my liking.

Just out of interest does anyone know if you can get push-bike trailers for carrying boards etc. That would be cool.

I have a trolley which i got thrown in with an old ten cate board, it is simply a big T on two wheels. Made from tubular steel the T starts at one wheel goes on to form the T and ends at the other wheel. You slip the board through the wide party of the T, find the balance point and push from the tail of the board.
