50 Handy Tricks

Step 50Paddle a Windsurfer Board, Now It's a sit-on-top Kayak

Paddle a Windsurfer Board, Now It\
Big old windsurfers that no-one wants anymore make great sit-on-top kayaks. Lots of fun, fast, and easy to use.

My cousins Donna and Eva demonstrate.
Donna's using an Aleutian-style paddle I made from a regular 2x4.

My Mom demonstrates high-stability technique so Eva can do gymnastics. Just hang your legs over the side and it suddenly gets a lot more stable.

Here in Hawaii we already have what's called Paddle Boards. They're like long boards except thicker and they are padded on top for when you sit, kneel or stand. We even surf with them...just use the paddle instead of your arms and off you go!
