Looks very well made.

Is it big enough to fit your boards inside?

Yep its big enough for 4boards, 8 sails, 4 booms, 4masts and all the related bits and pieces.
Gunna give it a test run and head south for the weekend.

Looks like you have quite a sizeable vehicle attached to the front of it, too...

Sweet. What's that silver thing on top, a vent? I think one of those spinny extractor vents might be good. You need a vent at the front too to let the air in but how do you keep the dust and rain out? The air pocket directly behind the towing vehicle is going to be full of dust. Maybe you could have a big downward facing vent with a piece of foam rubber for an air cleaner. OR run a piece of donkey dick from the front of the trailer to the roof rack on the towing vehicle - lots of high pressure clean air up there.

Where do you put your bed?

Beds in the ute. There is a vent on the front end on the drivers side. This has two uses. pressurize the trailer to stop it sucking in dust (while moving) and to allow fresh air in while the solar vent(silver thing at the rear on top) sucks out the hot air.

Looks a flash unit, no problems towing that unit I reckon
