The Inspiration

Being a student isn't always an advantage when it comes to sports. Me and Terje are active wakeboarders in the south of Norway during the warm summer holiday months - when we are in the vicinity of our boats. But when studying up in the north of norway we lacked something even close to a motorboat. After two years of non-wakboarding-while-studying, being the youtube/stumbler-holics we are, we came across a youtube video:

"Welcome to the winching world"! We were hooked on the subject straight away. Terje, being the initiator of the project, enlightened the idea of actually bulding a winch. "Were mechanical engineering students. Why can't we try and build one?!!" Deals were done and handshakes made - and so the "The Winch Project" started!
