Ok, so what the hell is the winch. Well this is a ground breaking new idea that opens up the possibilities of wakeskaing and wakeboarding to any puddle, canal or waterway in the world. The Winch has been designed and built by Buzz, a great friend of Tantrum and one of the orginal Northern Monkeys. After a couple of prototypes and hours of drinking and thinking Buzz has finally finished his first fully working Winch, Buzz will be making them to order, so call tantrum on 01772 252803 to find out details about buying one. The Winch is a machine that can pull a skater or wakeboarder plus 200 meters through canals, puddles, rivers, lakes, the sea, swimming pools, basically anything that is water. It is around 1 meter long by half a meter high and fits in the back of most cars. Its on wheels so you can get into secret and illegal locations (perfect). Take a look at the wakeskate Gallery for pictures that have been taken showing the Northern Monkeys and Tantrum friends using the Winch. We will be hitting water ways that you cant use a boat on. Thing about Weirs, waterfalls, rails on the sides of canals - The Winch can get you there and the pictures will be here.
