Description
These are brand-new custom personal sails for inline skaters, roller skaters, skateboarders and even ice skaters.These were designed and built by a professional sailmaker. The material is professional sail cloth with dual windows to see where you're going.
Imagine skating along a sidewalk or around a parking lot in a breeze, being powered solely by the wind! It is hand-held by any adult or larger child.
In a 15 knot breeze you can truck along at least that fast on a beam-reach (perpendicular to the wind). You can even skate upwind with this rig if you trim it right. Tacking is merely passing it overhead and holding it on the other side. If a gust comes along just release the trailing edge to dump the wind. Pull in to power-up.
BE SURE TO ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE KNEE, ELBOW, WRIST AND HEAD SAFETY GEAR! You can REALLY get going on these!
All you need to add is a couple sections of aluminum tubing, a couple pulleys, a couple cam cleats and some 5mm-7mm braided rope. See the pictures for details. It includes 2 battens to help keep the trailing edge from flapping. Breaks down and rolls up into somethings smaller than a golf bag. (briefcase-size if your tubing sections are short).
Colors are mixed but all are bright fluorescent similar to the pictures.
