Review on 🏄 Thule 531 Express Surf Strap - Set of Two by Ray Gist

I have never lost a board using one of these. At first the price confused me. Then he never looked back. Wrap one end over the pole. This end is permanently attached to your post or pole. Throw the end of the hook over the stack of boards. Pass it through one of two positions. Tighten the ladder lock. Get your gear on and go. Secure a 2x4 stack as easily as a pair of long boards. I tried one of these for the first time 20 years ago. The design has evolved. I believe the first company was Sierra Designs, then Dakine (no longer in production), now Thule. This iteration of Thule has the best material construction yet. The stair lock buckles are heavier, the steel hooks are covered with thick plastic, and the shoulder straps are wider. If you surf a lot and need an easy way to mount your boards to a rack, look no further.
