Driving to the beach can seem daunting, especially when you’re not hitting on a clear day. If you want to be able to feel out the waves, know that your shoreline is sand-free and your kids are playing safely in the shallow water, then this is for you.
This article will show you how to build a cheap and highly effective DIY surfboard control system with a dunker motor. This DIY system is easy enough that even children can learn how it works by following our instructions and video tutorials at home.
The technique and process you’ll be shown here are so simple, that a kid can do it. But it requires nothing more than just a few materials of your choosing.
Some of the people who tried this out have been amazed at its performance on their homemade surfboards. A lot of DIY-ers have this setup, used it to paddle themselves back to shore, and even get towed by others during the day.
All it takes to build this system is a dunker motor, two small planks of wood, a strap or two of rope to hold it together, and some PVC pipes. This dunker motor is the same model that’s used in the �world’s fastest surfboard’ video below. The video was made by Joe Pizzi who designed the world’s fastest surfboard with an innovative paddle control system.
The DIY system works by a lever that’s attached to a yoke. The yoke has two holes drilled in it and positioned so as to allow the water to flow down through the board. This is how the whole thing works; since it requires two holes for water flow, these are easily accessible for you, making this setup very easy to build.
You can use this dunker motor to drive any surfboard you wish. It’s also effective at pushing people out of the waves. You can throw the surfboard into the water and then use this to control it, which is easy to do when you use a longboard with a high lip. Just push the board offshore and by means of the propulsion provided by this dunker motor, it will be able to ride up on top of the wave without getting washed away by a big wave.
The dunker motor can also be used without the control board as well. You just need to make another hole in the surfboard through which you will insert the pipes and then tie them on with a piece of rope.
If you’re looking for a way to effectively drive your own handmade surfboard, or even just get towed during the day by another boat, this is a great way to do it. And since it runs off of water and not gas, it’s eco-friendly.
Conclusion
So basically, there’s a lot to be said about the dunker motor. It is surfboard-based, but it can also be used for pushing people out of the water and to make them ride on top of the wave. The dunker motor has been used for years to push surfboards in the water.
We hope that this article will be useful to you in building your dunker motor.
