Looks like it could be a challange and reckless enough for some of us.

We should enter it as another GTC category. Twice the potential for damage!
Should we buy a Pinnas team board? At least we would have someone to talk to when going slowly

i have a super huge old longboard "thing"

i wonder if i attach a mast base up the front somewhere and one down the back , would it make a good tandem

do they need to be a different design or will this work i wonder?

Well i did it anyways just guessed approximately where to put the bases and it worked well

only about 3 kts to use it in today but we got moving quick fast for the available wind took a bit of practice to get the balance right but we put the gigantic dagger board down and it was easy as.!!

if you have a really long longboard around try it out!

im not sure . i checked and all i can see is WAYLER. should be called whaler lol


it has a really wide square tale and a nose rocker almost like a boat with a huge v in it.

no foot straps and a centre board about a 30cm wide and about 75 cm long that folds up longways under the board ... quite cool really

no foot straps at all either

any help?
