|
|
A group of windsurfers are looking to try iceboarding this winter. Does anybody have an old Freeskate in their basement that they would like to get rid of?

I have a Woodie I'd be willing to part with. A much more refined design than the freeskate. You can get a glimpse of them in action here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=957HSTEvSSc
PM me if you are interested.

I have several Paul Mindnich built Freeskates in my garage attic.

I think there is a place to buy blades, I'm not sure where though. I made a snow rig way back, it didn't work, too much drag. Ice sailing is great, but you never know if the conditions will occur.

Ice is usually pretty flat and you can go in a light snow, but it is amazing how tough it can be to get good ice and more than a breath of wind before an impending dump!
Some winters you sail a lot, some not at all.

Oh man....getting all twitchy
It's really so funny to hear so much newbie-type questioning for one of the most obscure and surreal and aesthetic sports out there
If you think foiling is a thing.....All I can say is that Crazyfingers and I would agree that the enticement of foiling is that it almost reproduces the sensation of ice sailing....but so far it doesn't surpass the ssssshhhhh noise or glide.
There's a lot of ifs ands and what have you's about it..safety.. crashes and weather...but it is pretty awesome, and I'm stoked for whatever season there will be.....There's a facebook group
Atlas...don't waste your time on a snowboard....Get blades from Rick (above)...and find someone who knows what they are doing in your area
