Hi i'm looking for a trolley to put my windsurfing gear on and then tow it behind my bike. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if there still made or if anyone wants to sell me one. Also how hard they are to ride over longer distances. Thanks for any help.

Yes I have one, bit old and rusty now,
what side of the river do you live?
They are easy to ride with even when you load them up with 1 board 3 complete rigs like I used to.but it depends how you stack your gear.

yeah, I keep it in the Holden dealership in town.
It's the shiny one. Just walk in and take it. If it's locked then I don't mind if you break the window.

I have a trolley which i purchased more than 15 years ago new.
Never seen them for sale since.
If any one is interested i can take some photos of it if they wish to make their own.
Not too difficult if you did a bit of metal work at school.
The only concern was under sharp/fast cornering it could tip over due to the high centre of gravity.
Would be simple to slightly redesign it to sit lower though.

How to make one for free:

Find a golf buggy (roadside rubbish collection, whatever...they grow on trees)

Lay the buggy over a bit and you'll see it makes a V shape with the wheels at the bottow.

Then you'll see all you need is a couple of bits of wood, plastic whatever and some foam placed laterally on the upper parts of the trolley for the board to sit on, and a towbar. The bar can be about 2m of half inch square steel which is about $10 at Metaland etc. You should be able to score something for a tow and save $10

Not pretty but can be made in an hour and I've seen a 8 year old make one so can't be hard.
