A few month ago I stumbled across this video about a DIY surfboard bike rack.
Of course I had to build it. I want to share some information in case someone wants to build his own. The video gives you a good idea of how to build the rack.
As you won’t find pvc fittings and pipes in a german hardware store, try online stores as pvc-welt.de instead.
Don’t be fooled by the expression 1″ pipe that is used in the video, the outer diameter is around 1.3″, matching the 32 mm pipe available at pvc-welt.de.
You end up spending around 40€ including rubber straps and pipe clamps.
I didn’t glue the pipes into the t-joints that sit on the bike frame to make the rack quickly removable. the rubber straps that also hold the surfboard in place keep the rack from slipping out of the t-joints. Total building time is around 1 hour.
