How do I make a beach cart/dolly for my windsurfing board and equipment?

Question

I've got a ten foot windsurfing board, along with a mast (not sure how long it is, prob like 15 or 16 feet). I live about 4 blocks from the beach, but I don't want to drive back and forth to get all my stuff there, and it's a big hassle to walk with it. I've found some places online that sell something I could use for $200+, but I was thinking of something with PVC piping.

If anybody has any experience building something like this, especially if it has a bike hookup (but not necessary), I would really appreciate it.

I built something similiar to this:  http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oGkl1rYrNGUT...

which I used to wheel a couple of surfboards and gear to the beach.  I used some salvaged wheels off a  jogger baby stroller and pcv for about $30 total. You can get some ideas on how the basic construction goes and modify it to fit your needs.

I once ried to tow it with a bicycle ( had a strap going from the back of the bike to a velcro strap around the front of the carrier, but it did not work very well, was very ackward when it came to turns. )
