Mayhaps you’ve heard of Eva The Board Lady, the legendary west coast board repair guru. A recent addition to her site is this simple and straightforward sailing simulator…a giant lazy susan for your board, made with plywood and golf balls. Eva says that the speed with which the thing spins is adjustable, so presumably it can be made forgiving for beginners whilst set wide open for working on Spock 945’s.
I think I’m going to try my hand at making one of these.
