Hi Everyone. I think it might finally be time for me to get a van to go windsurfing in. I am not sure what the best van is for windsurfing. It looks like the van of choice might be a SWB VW transporter, but I am a bit worried about whether my gear will fit in. I sail a 258 board, which should be no problem, but I also surf a 9'6" (2.9m) longboard, and I am teaching my girlfriend to windsurf on a 3.3m magnum. I'm not convinced these boards will fit in. Maybe there is enough room to squeeze boards between the front seats to get the extra length. Diagonal might also be the way ahead, but it's hard to tell what will fit without actually trying it out. So, if anyone out there has any chat about this, I would be very grateful.

I also have a longboard but have to suspend it snug to the ceiling and it fits over the driver or passengers head.. (provided your not too tall and the board doesn't have some peculiar rocker line in the nose)


As for the 3.3m magnum.. chop the nose off... she'll never notice ! ]]> Rich... GENERAL DISCUSSION Thu, 27 Apr 2006 08:33:39 +0000 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,220,220#msg-220 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,220,220#msg-220
