James Wilnau, Inventor and Owner of the MULE. OK, here’s the story. I moved to the beach and bought myself a great beach cruiser for getting about. I lived 8 blocks from the ocean and found a major hassle in getting my 10’ Bic longboard down to the surf. Everything on the market for transporting my board, by bike, had a hard framework (cart) or attachments to go on the side of my bike. This made no sense to me, like holding a sheet of plywood on a windy day, a cross wind can take you off your bike. Then the idea came to me….attach wheels to your board using your board as the frame. After several prototypes I perfected the MULE. Using only cloth, an axle, tires, and some strapping I took the MULE to the beach with ease. I was able to load my gear on the board and secure it with budgie cords. Slipping the MULE on the seat of my bike and being able to remove it and walk with it eliminated any hardware that would mess up my bike. Trailering it behind the bike eliminated wind resistance and made it much safer to travel. User friendly…it takes just seconds to mount and one second to remove. Pack the MULE in its carry bag and store it under your seat of the car or in your boardbag for international travel. ALL PROBLEMS SOLVED! With no monies spent on advertising, the MULE is now sold worldwide. It has become the number one board carrier/trailer. With the influence of the SUP (which to me means very large and heavy board) in the surfing industry the MULE has almost become a necessity. I have tried to keep the MULE as universal as possible. One size fits ALL. Over the past year I have taken suggestions from my clients and have made some improvements to include a larger nosepiece and a wider axle. Men, Women, and Children can now use the MULE to transport their shortboards, longboards, windsurfers, and SUPs. The thing I hear most from my clients is “Why didn't I think of that?” It just makes sense! It has been my hope, since developing the MULE, that all surfers will find more time to enjoy the sport they love without the hassles. James Wilnau
