How do I make myself really unpopular with my little sister? Quite simple: remove the roof and drawbar from the child trailer and convert the rest into a surf transporter - definitely one of the quickest and safest, but also most brutal methods. Then the board hangs behind the bike, but the house is a mess. But by the time she no longer wants to be picked up from the disco in the children's trailer, the little wagon is ready and then such decommissioned vehicles are almost perfect for the conversion project. However, it was really exciting to see what surf readers can come up with without the inherited trailer in order to get to the spot quickly and without emissions. They raided flea markets and rummaged through junk cellars, bent and welded, sawed and screwed. We present the smartest ideas as inspiration for your own surf trailer.

Deputy Editor in Chief surf

Stephan Gölnitz comes from Bochum and had Holland as his home windsurfing territory for many years before moving to Munich in 1996 for the job of test editor at surf magazine. The materials engineering graduate worked as a surf instructor on the Ijsselmeer during his studies and competed for several seasons for the Essen sailing team in the Surfbundesliga and the Funboard Cup. He completed a traineeship at surf-Magazin in the test department and since then has actively accompanied almost all tests on the boom and for more than 10 years also as a photographer. Stephan has covered many thousands of test kilometers, mainly on Lake Garda and in Langebaan, but also in Egypt and Tobago. He gets his hands on over 100 new sails and boards every year as his company car. Privately, he prefers to surf with a foil on Lake Walchensee or “unfortunately far too rarely” in the waves. SUP is Stephan's second passion, which he pursued for several years at numerous SUP races. Today, he prefers to paddle on river tours with family or friends - even for several days.
