This weekend at my favourite and only sailing spot sees a nepe tide with a really low high tide around dawn and dusk. I've been trying to think of a way to get out to the water during the day so I don't have to just stay at home and mow the lawn. I. E. Apart from two trips either side of sailing.
I would guess it would be 500mtrs to a 1km walk to the water with ample fin depth.
I was talking to a guy today who was on holidays at Hervey Bay a while back who reckons he saw a windsurfer/s with a device with big rubber/plastic wheels getting their gear to the water and back, which was a long way out.
Is this a myth or does someone have such a device?
I'd be keen to see pictures if they exist and any hints/advice re: construction. I figure it would be pretty simple to come up with some sort of trolley but I would need it to accommodate my rigged sail as well.
Appreciate any replies, cheers.
There are such things.
You can even get beach wheel chairs with big balloon tyres.

The frame is pvc tube and the wheels are detachable. It would be easy to cobble something like that together if you can source the wheels.
Yeah ok I get it, a dumb topic by your standards, just glad I'm not as bored !hitless as you cilarious hunts!

Seriously though, the carrier that NotWal first suggested does exist as i used to have one very similar when I lived in the UK. I had no cash for a car so pulled my gear down the beach using the trolley.
One of the guys at Manly also has a trolley he pulls behind his bicycle.
