I wanted an easier way to carry my surfboard two miles to the beach, so I built a trailer that tows behind my bike. This video shows the construction of the “mk.2” trailer with a few improvements on my original, like a better hitch, and super-easy board mounting/removal! The cart is fabricated from ½” PVC pipe and 1/8” steel bar stock and is a good weekend’s build.
I built my trailer at the Santa Barbara Hackerspace – If you live nearby, come check out the ‘space on any Saturday!
