Something New To Do On The Beach

Something New To Do On The Beach

By Guy Brighton on January 27, 2005

Bored of all that kite surfing? Need a better way to ride the wind? Well, you could always hop onto one of Theo Jansen’s Strandbeest creatures. Theo has spent the last ten years been obsessed with plastic yellow tubes. With these tubes he makes skeletons which are able to walk using the the wind.

Eventualy Theo wants to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, erm, "so they will live their own lives."
