I'm definately up for one.

The really cool thing is the castor style front wheels, making it a great light wind simulator.

Be good to know if they do bulk discounts.

Houston I've seen guys practice forwards on these.
Along with heaps of other freestyle stuff. Check utube for turf dog.

Just need some grass and a small bump for a ramp.


I think the Bombers will be kicked off their footy oval at Lauderdale and the windskaters will be taking over.
AND NO I'M NOT GETTING ANOTHER TOY, THE TOY SHED IS FULL!!! AND I HAVE SO MAY TOYS I WOULDN'T KNOW WHICH ONE TO USE WHEN

Interesting forum post here comparing the turf dogs and mountain boards:

www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/General/Turf-dog/

If you want to learn to freestyle on land it seems like (from reading the above) the turf dog is the only way to go!

Ben, are you sure that is freight free?. they say free freight in the USA. The freight would be more than the board!
Anyway i will try and get a price on the turf dogs in bulk.


That site has a good description of the atom 90 however if you want one get it off amazon. $100 for the board and $60 for post from america. That link was only to give you a good description... through that site with post you will pay near $300

Proto II ready for testing, seems to turn and roll very well with dads brilliant work on making trucks. Can put the GOPRO on the back truck looking up too, so will try that too. Also some different track positions too, so will be interesting to see what difference it makes. Now just to put a back foot strap on it.

Nice but you will need foot straps as after a while on sand it gets very very slippery. Tested mine yesterday turns very very well and goes insanely good. I was doing fast duck jibes and laydowns. Got my mate on it and is doing jibes on it at pace. defiantly should transfer over to the water quite well.

Below is today with some freak wind that came up just on dark. It was a steady 20-25 Northerly and was probably a little too much, 15knots would be perfect. Got a 30knot peak on the gps.

Great video Izaak, the boards did come with foot straps but we actually took them off because they were mounted to only be used in one direction... will have to put them back on straight.....
Hopefully going to kelso to give them a go today
