Let’s start at the beginning and assume nothing.
Assumption 1: You are a surfer.
Assumption 2: You live near the ocean.
Assumption 3: You probably always drive to the beach.
Assumption 4: A larger portion of you live close enough to the beach to a ride a bike.
Assumption 4.1: Of that portion who could ride a bike, I imagine 65% of you own a bike.
Assumption 4.2: The rest who don’t own a bike obviously know how to use the Internet and could find a cheap bike at craigslist.com.
Conclusion: Eighteen of you actually ride your bike to go surfing.
It has been firmly established, beyond a reasonable doubt, that more of us should ride a bike to the beach–I mean look at the logic; it’s watertight. If you are unconvinced, then read “Being Green is About Being Human”. Hopefully it will make you think about saving some gas, and convince you not to drive your H2 Hummer the five minutes it takes to get to the beach.
We now need to consider how to get your board to the beach. This may not be true for you, but I don’t trust anyone in a car when I’m on a bike–not even my friends…actually, especially my friends–and I want to have both of my hands on the handle bars. As such, we should consider a surf rack for the bike, and one that isn’t outrageously expensive, or look like something a bike company made instead of a surf company. Exhibt A:
But, with a short inspection you find that most of these bike racks cost as much as a house on the North Shore in front of Pipe.
Do not fear! You will be riding your bike hands free thanks to some PVC pipe and this website. The directions given on the website are a little convulated, but the main idea gets across through some diagrams and a little imagination. The structure may need a little tweeking, i.e. reinforcing, but this is a cheap alternative to blowing your yearly income on a surf bike rack.
Let it be known that I can’t vouch for the effectiveness of this bike rack. Alright. I haven’t made it yet. And some may fault me for writing a review for a product I haven’t tested. That would be fair, but I will do my hardest to completely ignore you. And know, this bike rack will be made and tested. Do not worry yourself.
Disclaimer: Now, as some of you may point out, ‘Dude, you don’t even own a bike though.’ Well you would be correct. So I am heading over to craigslist.com to find a cheap bike.

Ame zing,Bike can be successfully on the beach and near sea water.Young people like this.This is very nice.
I am interested in purchasing a bicycle/surfboard rack or the plans for making one. I have seen one like the one you show in your main web page, on Kauai, that uses clothe and two medium sized wheels at the back.
Thanks
