I have to drag down my wave over 15 feet on the beach
I'm putting my back out doing this.
Any ideas?

Some manufacturers make carts to tote these cats on the beach. They can be expensive though. Other cheaper ideas include: Sled dogs, child labor, large branches. |

When I first started sailing 16's 30 years we would take a 55 gal plastic drum, drill holes in each end and put a pipe through it to make cheap beach wheels. Good luck |

Get a set of beach wheels. Maybe you could go in on a set with a couple of the other sailors that keep their boats on the beach. Or here's a photo of a set I made with dock wheels. I think the pneumatic Cat Trax work better on sand, though. https://www.flickr.com/photos/100085529 ... 5017809482 |

Beach wheels are probably overkill for 15 feet. Pick up about 3 or 4 eight-foot lengths of 2" black PVC pipe. Lay them crossways and your Wave will glide over them like it's on ice. It will glide easy on two pipes - or even one pipe if you balance it. As you glide off one, remove it from the rear and place it in front and keep going. It's sort of a low-buget version of what Hobie developed themselves for the 21 SC called the "Track Slide" . You can see it at 2:36 in this video: |
