last thursday my friends and i got kicked out of a park for winching. cop threatened to confiscate the winch and our boards. he did say however that there is nothing illegal about an electric winch so somebody should hurry up and design one.


Question Question Question Why would there be a difference to the cops if the winch was gas or electric powered?

NotSoBueno, probably noise and exhaust emission!? with an e-winch you'd have to steal electricity from a street light or something... or carry a generator with you all the time. so kinda pointless. an e-winch would make up for an easy and light design though...so maybe i should still follow that thought...

So an electric winch is 'legal' but you would have an extension cord drawing someone else's power....I still don't get why a cop would say this. Since when do cops care about exhaust and noise?

I do like the idea of an electric winch however....

with an electric winch you minimize the total number of mechanical parts but add a whole sh!tload of water sensitive elements...

maybe we should open up a thread under winching Arrow elektric winches - pros and cons.

however rixen had a professional e-winch out but it was like 4000€ if i can remember correctly. i witnessed it in operation twice and it worked well.... all nice and quite

t-Rex, i lived in windsor for a while. i got a work visa and traveled up the coast for 4 months. did a week in fiji too. it was awesome. when i was in brisbane i was doing construction in the mornings and washing dishes at night. the dishwashing gig was a sweet deal. they would feed me and pretty much make me drink while i washed dishes. learned some italian too.

I used to work at a golf course and I would eat prime rib roasts and drink pitchers of Lambs Rum and Sprite pretty much every shift. Good Times..

We need t-shirts that say:

Winching is not a crime (on the front)

So chase some real criminals or get a donut mister officer. (on the back)
