Well I thought I'd give someone a laugh.
a few mates where heading to a surf spot which required a 20 walk .They had surfboards .
a long way to carry a sup.
I had recently brought a kids bike at a garage sale for $5 and a 2 metre piece of decking .only needed the wheels
oh the straps where a extra ,but I use those for the roof racks anyway .
a drill is need and screws .and a saw .but after 1.5 hours later I had the weapon ready to roll .
if someone steals it while I'm out surfing .it still only cost $5.
no Paton on it ,you can copy .i did add a extra piece of wood ,not shown on the picture ,but it made the wheels run true .
i had fun ..and the surf at the end of the day was great ...I appreciated the carrier on the way back after a 3 hour surf ..tired.

It needs paint.
Some flames coming from the wheel wells would set it off nicely.

The clothes line attached to the bike seat is a nice touch.
Good to hang your wettie on afterwards and it can dry on the way home.
