Hey guys,

Just woundring what is your windsurfing gear mover? Is it Van, Ute Tralleir or just a Sedan?
If you had some pics of your set up it would be much appreciated if you could post it on the gallery.

Cheers Pittsy

Good winds

Mine's a Honda 50 cc scooter, have a bit of hassle with it, when transporting the gear, but it's cheap on fuel!!!!!

I have an eco friendly 5.7L V8 Commodore wagon. With one of the split fold seats down it holds 6 sails, 2 booms, 5 masts, 3 boards and accesories. Thanks to the new shorter board designs and getting your packing right, this still allows you to have a smaller passenger in the front seat and or one in the back. When I gi away the boards go on the roof to make space for the dog and luggage.

If you want to avoid the van route the commodore or ford wagon is a good option. The ford is a few inches longer as well.

Commo VL wagon, with front passenger seat down I can fit 3 boards and about 6 sails inside easy. I'm usually only carrying my wave board so the front passenger seat stays up and the board goes between the two front seats (only just pokes through). Like that someone can fit in the passenger seat easy. It's like a ute with a roof :D

VAN!!! I had a ute, had stuff stolen from it, sold it got a subaroo station wagon, too small, sold it and got a van. Can't work out why everybody doesn't own one. Very very useful, not just for sailing gear.

95 Mitsubishi Express 4xw Van SWB 2.4ltr ECI (ex testra Van)

Awesome on the beach all decked out for camping, the double bed folds flat so all your gear can go inside when used around town. Gear goes on top when we go away traveling. Best van I have ever owend ,tough and cheap to run goes most places my old mans landcrusier does

All for around $4000 Bargain

LMFAO Pugsie
Hardie eats just one too many apple crumbles and he cops it

Hyundai Excel Sprint. Rockin.

All seats down, 1 mast, 2 sails, 1 boom, 0 passengers, Board on roof.

Notwal, when I was buying wagon I looked at Commodore & Magna wagons... generally with the Mitsubishi's you get more for you're money but the lack of split fold rear seat meant the commodore got the nod.

And damn you Holden for not producing normal wagons anymore, what are we windsurfers to do (if I wanted a pseudo 4wd i'd get a 4wd).

here's my faithful gear mover! seabreeze.com.au/gallery/gallery.asp?imageid=3565

A company car, Nissan X trail, what my surfing mates fondly refer to as "The bitch bus".

They are quite willing to hang schidt on it whilst I'm taking them to a remote break, how aussie is that?

fellas,
the best of the lot is the mighty falcon xf panel van. use a ****load of fuel but you can fit so much stuff in'em its not funny. plus they are a heap safer than "normal" vans eg econovan, cause they are built like a brick sh!thouse. my mates is still going strong, over 500,000k's on the original engine. they are so good that mine just got flogged, so now i have had to downgrade to a commodore vt wagon. fits all the windsurfin stuff in it but you have to look after it a lot more (eg no salty water dripping everywhere) which is something you don't need to worry about with the ford panno's. plus they are cheap as chips.

subaru forester. usually throw the board on the roof and the rest in the back. only usually troop around on my lonesome, or with my brother, so i fold the seats down so that it all packs down nice.

Thats the young fella but it wont be to long until he's out there.
He drives a little tikes car its red with a yellow roof and there is no floor in it so you can get around like the flintstones

Commodore VT wagon. Get more stuff in one of these than in most of those fancy 4wd that mums drive to school and back.
When going up or down coast both back seats flat, head rest out of passenger seat and moved all the way forward. Seat lowered down I can get 3 boards, 7 sails, 4 masts, 3 booms and other crap all in. Lockable. Put the seat belt around the lot at front so no movement.
Mate has a new Merc Vito and he gets everything in it plus a bed. even fits his dinghy when on boating duty. Goes like the clappers too with turbo diesel.

A funky 1989 ford laser,
always draws a crowd and jealous looks

Has a special feature that when you turn it off it doesnt turn off.
Also has a duel use as a skip, is full of crap, and has a special smell.
