Review on ๐Ÿ„ Thule Get-A-Grip Surfboard Carrier: Secure and Convenient Surfboard Transportation Solution by Ian Bates

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great addition to the trunk

I have used this product all summer to transport WW kayak paddles and it has worked (almost) perfectly. Another reviewer mentioned that the cable cover came off - I didn't have this problem, but did notice some scraping when inserting and removing the cable from the holder (that's a really nice design, btw). I was concerned that the cable might scrape enough to loosen the cable in the mount. So when I pop it in or out of the mount I take some slack to attach it to another part of the cable and then slide the cable down towards the handle. (Sorry if this is confusing - you may not have seen how it works first hand). Definitely deducting a star because the blades fell off once. This happened when I was carrying 3 oars. I made a triangle with the blades/shafts but they slipped and got loose in the holder. Nothing is lost, but we had to stop. Since then I've only carried two paddles at a time and nothing has moved.
