Does anyone out there have any pictures or suggestions on using my mountain bike to ride to the beach with my hydrofoil? I see there are surfboard carriers for bicycles, but I need something in addition that I could use to support the mast also. It is about a 1 mile ride to get where I am going. I have considered using a modified baby carrier but not sure i want to tow something. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

I'm using an "Ikea Sladda" bike trailer.
Works well and very cheap, but it is only a 10 to 15mn trip to the spot depending on where I go...
2 kites, wetsuit, harness, pump etc... + 1 HF board and foil tied on top.
I'll take a photo next WE.

That would be great. My trip time would be the same as yours..

I found a baby jogging stroller on the street and made a trailer out of it
I don't ride with mast attached I like to suspend the mast when traveling
Here's mine

You could also jump in your wetsuit, put your harness on, kites on the back, and have the complete foil under your arm when riding to the water.
I often do this

As Peter said, there are many easy solutions to cycle to your spot depending on your personal demands and those of your foil
Inbetween you may find what you need.

...and next time I will prove that it also works for 1100 kilometers with a hydrofoil.
..okay to be honest last time I took a train for the first 1088 kilometers.

I used a similar scooter a number of times to get to the beach when the wife needed a car.
The board , mast, fuse, wings go to a surf bag over shoulder.I can squeeze in a foil kite and a bar in the bag too, but usually prefer a kite bag..
put harness on and go.. 3-4 miles is not a problem
