I wanted an easier way to carry my surfboard two miles to the beach, so I built a trailer that tows behind my bike. This video shows the construction of the “mk.2” trailer with a few improvements on my original, like a better hitch, and super-easy board mounting/removal! The cart is fabricated from ½” PVC pipe and 1/8” steel bar stock and is a good weekend’s build.

I built my trailer at the Santa Barbara Hackerspace – If you live nearby, come check out the ‘space on any Saturday!

Parts list:

3x10’ ½” Schedule 40 PVC

3’ bar 1/8”x3/4” steel bar

2x6’ ½” foam pipe insulation

10 ish 1-1/4” drywall screws

6’ ish paracord

3 hose clamps

1 ¼” bolt and nut

Tools list:

Drill or drill press

Hacksaw

Heat gun

Vise and hammer

(optional) grinder

(optional) welder
