he built it himself. Good for you! I think I like the dirtsurfer stance better than the crab.

Google it. The dirtsurfer is an inline 16 inch bike style 2 wheel mountainboard, meant for downhill but more suited for kiteboarding, with a heel brake so both hands are free to control the kite. I'll make a video of it this week next time it's windy and too cold for the water and post it. Dirtsurfer has been out of business for 15 years, so it's quite difficult to buy one and the ones that still exist seem to get converted to electric. It has a very high top speed which is why I like it better than my mountain board which gets pretty bad speed wobbles over 20mph.

dirtsurfer. It's like only the bottom 1/4 of a bicycle or something.

aaahh that one..
seen that a while back, someone was cruising the shoreline with a kitewing.
to do that with a kite is coming close to mountainboarding.

i like to sit down (due to back-issues)
As being a creator/builder of things, when i saw a picture of a Crab pass by i just had to build one..
and a year later the second version.
