  • Patent number: 5823551
    Abstract: A lightweight carrier for aiding in transporting an elongated load such as one or more surfboards or sailboards either uncovered on in carrying bags is formed of a simple U-shaped frame of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe having attached wheels. The carrier which is normally fastened to one end of the load, includes a padded cross member which carries much of the load and padded upright supports or arms which are sufficiently flexible that they can deform or bend outwardly or inwardly. A strap is used to pull the tops of the arms together around the load. A surfer can then carry the opposite end of the load which will trail behind him on the carrier.
