Wind surfing board is foreseen for surfing
during the windy weather, while during the sunny and quiet windless day is
completely useless.
For using the same board, during the quiet windless weather in sport and recreational purpose, conversion kit can be assembled and any bicycle can be used for water cycling by removing road wheels only. That means the bicycle in this case becomes dual-purpose equipment too.
Preparation for installation of convertible kit on board is very simple. It could be done by board owner himself, in case when convertible kit is purchased separately with installing instructions. Procedure in preparation for installation of convertible kit is: cutting the appropriate holes in the board, where the plastic cups and guides will be glued by expanding foam. With such preparation, Wind Surfing Board is ready for water bicycle riding or wind surfing.
The
new generation, Wide Style Wind Surfing Boards are very stable, because of its
wideness and flat bottoms. They are not easy to turn over
especially knowing that water cycling take place only on windless weather. But
if for any reason we want to secure the board of turning over for 180 degrees,
the safe floater can be placed in the middle triangle of the bicycle frame with
quick connectors, which will prevent the board to turn over for more than 90
degrees. From this position, board can be easily straightened up.
When choosing
bike for water cycling (if we all ready do not posses one) it is recommended to
choose high quality ALU frame bicycle, not only because of possibility to get
rusty but because of its weight and shock absorbers. The ride with such chosen
bike will definitely give very pleasant and comfortable ride.
To ride bikes with such suspension, the carrier of rear fork is designed to
allow the frame movement up and down as shock absorbers works. The nuts-bushes
of the rear hub shaft will enable that.
Such installation of the bike on the board, gives much more pleasure in riding than ordinary recreational enjoyment. That is to say, placing the bike with its chain, front sprocket-wheels and front and rear gear selectors, we choose the transmission ratio and propeller RPM to adjust force to our ability or to obtain maximum speed. The other words, choice of transmission ratio and speed are almost unlimited. Knowing, that on late bicycle models, ratio between front and rear chain pulley is 5:1 and on this transmission, ratio between upper and lower toothed cog is 2:1 and ability of bicycle rider in average shape to turn pedals 1 1/2 times in second, calculation shows, that in that moment propeller makes 900 RPM. Considering, that with this RPM we are turning propeller with diameter of 200 mm and three blades under the angle of 30 degrees, appears very impressive picture about the speed we achieve. In any case, for riders with higher demands that is not all. Transmission can be modified by exchanging sprocket-wheels with higher ratio ones and increase ratio between upper and lower toothed cogs. Also, propeller can be modified by increasing its blades angle. With such modifications water cycling on the wind surfing board can easily become a sport discipline.
