# Aquatic Board Carriers The 'Shore Ride' Board Carrier Can be Pulled or Attached to Your Bike By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-07-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board-carrier References: [blessthisstuff](http://www.blessthisstuff.com/stuff/sports/water-sports/shore-ride-board-carrier/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1941437266/shore-ride-the-ultimate-board-carrier) Getting your board to and from the shore is no easy feat if you aren't going by car, which is something the 'Shore Ride' Board Carrier is designed to change. Working with your standup paddle board or kayak, the carrier works by attaching wheels to one end and allowing the other end to be either pulled manually or attached onto your bike. This means you don't have to struggle in order to get your gear from your house to the beach to increase the amount of time you actually spend in the water rather than in transport. The 'Shore Ride' Board Carrier works with a wide number of boards and features a sturdy design to ensure your gear is always secure and safe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sustainable Mobility:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop eco-friendly board carriers that reduce environmental impact during transportation. - **Outdoor Adventure Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative and convenient accessories for outdoor enthusiasts to enhance their outdoor experiences. - **Multifunctional Gear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design versatile gear that can be easily attached to different modes of transport to increase convenience and flexibility. ### Who This Affects Most - **Outdoor Sports Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new designs and materials for sports equipment that improve portability and ease of transportation. - **Eco-friendly Mobility Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable and efficient transportation solutions for urban and outdoor environments. - **Bicycle Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative attachments and accessories for bicycles that cater to the needs of cyclists with different interests, such as board carriers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual-Posture Stand-Up Paddleboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/standup-paddleboards.md) - [Back-Borne Bike Harnesses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-harness.md) - [Handlebar-Toting Hydrofoil Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrofoil-board.md) - [Hybrid Electric Surfer Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scubajet-hybridboard.md) - [Motor-Assisted Bicycle Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorassisted-bicycle-rack.md) - [Two-Wheeled Surfing-Inspired Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surf-skateboard.md) - [Level-Access Car Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-racks.md) - [Modular Electric Surfboard Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclemate-electric-surfboard.md) - [Compact Cyclist Car Mounts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightbull-rack.md)
