Skateboard Sailing


Skateboard Sailing from Ryan Schenk on Vimeo.

Last night, we had some decent winds from Tropical Storm Hanna, so my friend Jonathan and I used an old sailboat mast, trash bag, and some scraps of wood to build this great gaff-rigged, sail-powered skateboard. We took it to the beach and ripped around the parking lot and down the street.

Looking back at the windspeed graphs on iWindsurf.com, it was blowing 40mph and gusting to 48 at the time this was filmed!

We only got one video because it was raining like crazy and we didn’t want to get the camera wet.

Comf Numb

While this video isn’t of as high a quality as the first, it’s still kind of entertaining. My project partners and I made this video to try and portray the Fatalist perspective. The audio isn’t very good because of the karaoke version of comfortably numb that we downloaded. Also… the second half of the clip isn’t well matched between audio and visual… and the video was recorded with the backlight on. But whatever. It’s still kind of funny.

Enjoy!
