Considering buying a bike and strapping a foil rack to it. What have you all come up with to transport winging equipment to the beach. Ideally something commercially available with minimum engineering required.
Not a bike rack but we had this bike trailer to kart the kids around in and now there to big I found another use ! I Sorry I can't rotate that top picture..
I tried this and ended up just throwing the board + foil on a shoulder and ding in the bag on the other and riding the bike with one hand. Good for a mile or so then it got old.
The racks are from online marketplace, front is a pushbike seat post fitting & rear is a moped set.
I used to carry my whole windsurfing gear with this.. Wing foil gear should be even easier.

Anyone found anything online that is thick enough to fit a wingboard? Love the DIY but don't have access to real tools or a workspace at the moment.

normal rack fits my small 65l wing board, you can use the SUP model for bigger boards
Most bike/motorcycle board racks are made from aluminium tubing which is easily opened to fit thicker boards. I carry my Naish hover 125 or hypernut easily.
So when you're out on the water, what do you do with all the gear on the trailer? Ever have stuff stolen?
There are a few options available for transporting winging equipment to the beach with a bike. One popular option is to use a bike rack specifically designed for carrying windsurfing equipment. These racks typically attach to the bike frame and have straps or loops to secure the equipment.These bikes can be supported, and some examples of commercially available windsurfing bike racks are the Thule Windsurf Carrier and the Yakima Windsurf Carrier.
Another option is to use a cargo bike or a bike with a cargo rack. These types of bikes have larger racks attached to the frame that can accommodate windsurfing equipment. Some examples of cargo bikes are the Surly Big Dummy and the Yuba Spicy Curry.
I have these on my motorcycle

What if it's windy?
I am using a standard surfboard rack and just cranked it open a bit, but the SUP ones would do the trick. as i generally use this setup for a downwinder and drive past my start point, i usually drop the board off and bike lock it at my launch point, then ride up with the wing on my back.
works a treat, i am doing it with an e-bike.

Not an issue.. Have ridden my windsurfing gear on a side mounted bike rack in 30+ knot winds without any issues. Surprisingly stable and intuitive to ride.
