Reply to: RE>Mounting Bracket For Board
I once saw a simple device created using a swivel chair base. The chair was
unbolted leaving the x-brace exposed. Thin plywood was bent in the general
bottom shape of a board, covered in carpet, and attached to the top brace.
The center post was screwed down to its lowest possible height. The wheels
were removed, and the base was bolted to a thick, large piece of exterior
plywood. A poly board was strapped to this arrangement, and it served quite
nicely as a simulator.

Does anyone make a mounting bracket for a
windsurf board that I could use to turn one
of my boards into a kind of simulator? I was
thinking of setting up a rig in the back yard
with no sail just to practice tacks and the
like.
Ideally the bracket would have a rotating
base, so that I could get some sense for the
board rotating underneath me. Who makes said
device, and how do I reach them?
