That bicycle arrangement looks interesting. Got any photos that show how it works?

I can take some photos if you like but I just googled dirt surfer and worked out how to make it from there. They are great fun! Punch it into Utube as well, that will get you motivated.

BTW. the sail I am using is 3.4!! Never get wind strong enough to use it on the water! Although the photos dont show it we were probably doing about 40kph.

5.7m sail in around 10 knots.
It's good up until 16/17 knots at which point four wheel drifting starts getting a little too exciting!
Plus there's that strangely disconnected sense of mortality you get from doing 65km/hr on hard sand wearing only shorts and a t-shirt..

I only just worked out what AB meant! Duh! That was his sail in the '90 worlds. Dunno if he actually used it coz its a 3.4 with 3 cams, probably didn't get THAT windy. Gets the windskater going tho!
