Imagine putting on small wheels on your twintip to get you upwind on the beach then take them off and go in the surf again and carry them with youHas anyone seen it done? Feel free to make fun :p ThanksCaptain Sam

I once went to the effort to start making a landboarf/TT. But It would have been **** at both!

Just stay upwind and get ride back to your start point without the walk of shame.

If it's not windy enough to kite on the water. Why not just ride the landboard.

Creating a board that is sub-par at both doesn't sound like a great idea.

Yes this has been done before. There was a company that went into SharkTank with a skateboard hybrid for kite surfers that also doubled as a twin tip. Unfortunately I don't think they got it off the ground.

We just call that a downwinder :-D

Kite downwind, Pack your kite, Jump in your car, Drive upwind, Do it again
