I’m Jon
and I am 14. I wanted to get to the beach without relying on my parents!
My dad
gave me the idea of making a trailer for me to put my board on. It was
quite simple to make, basically I used a golf trolley and a roof rack
bar and some steel box section to join them. The hardest part was the
supports for the board to fit on I used two tv brackets for this with a
bit of padding so it wouldn’t damage the board.
The tow
hitch was a side car bracket which my uncle gave me but ideally I would
have liked a purpose built hitch.
All in
all a good result for under a pound as I got most of the parts off of a
local skip.
Below are a few photos to show how
it's done! |
