Its goin down! Pulled the trigger on a winch build!

I was talking to a customer about it, and he offered me a motor for free! Hell yeah! I really think he just wants to see me crash lol. My co worker has a set of fairladys (i think that's what they are called) hes going to give me... I have steel laying around for the frame.

going to see what I can scrounge up for a spool.... But so far $0 in :lol:
With 1 of,the two spendy parts down, im feeling good. (clutch will be the other spendy piece)

Anyone built one before? Any advice?

I am at a bit of a loss. Will you be winching the buggy or board?

If you are just trying to get air on windless days....



:crazy: :rolleyes:

OUCH! Those boards!

Is that a renegade kinda thing or cool with the po'po'? I'd be interested to see how it all comes together. Pure portable fun.

Depends where u r at... Drainage canals are prolly ok, but there are some city fountain runs they do that is probably frowned upon

looking for videos that I have seen this is one

still looking for the other where they winch down waterfalls. It is a really interesting video (kinda documentry) of how they set it up too.

I don't know what you use for the cable but I can get 1000 ft spools of 550 paracord if you are interested.
