Anybody have a solid cheap surfboard diy rack for a 125?
As the title implies....
What materials did you use? where did you mount? Drill into the plastic farings? Pictures would be super helpful. I need something stable for either a short or longboard that can handle 60+mph.
This is my first post, forgive me if this question has already been asked and answered.

Mitch carries a 12' paddleboard on a Vino 125. Not sure he does 60 though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL5Edlm ... pp=desktop

Watch this video that shows Mitch and his friend Westley designing and fabricating the carrier and you'll see how the weight of the boards is supported. In ten minutes of fast-motion video you see the entire process. I wish I had 1337 fabrication skills like that. Check out the quality of the welding Westley does on the brackets and stuff. Reading the comments I see that I'm not the only one who was impressed by the welding skill. Measurements, design, pipe bending, welding and fitting the whole thing in 10 fast-mo minutes. And the end product looks great. Wow...BayStateScooterist wrote:Is there a third wheel under those surfboards? Don't see how it can be done otherwise.DeeDee wrote:Mitch now hauls two on a 125.

Do some online research on Carver Surf Racks. They make a surfboard carrier rack that works on scooters.Alchemistry33 wrote:As the title implies....
