🏄 Thule 531 Express Surf Strap - Set of Two Review

42 years old, surfer all my life and these are by far the best trapezes I have ever seen. So easy to use, tighten it as you like and never slip off, and it comes off easily no matter how tight you tighten it. They're not very long, which means you don't have to tie a long loose end. The downside to this is that you can probably only get two boards underneath. However, if you have more than one set, you can use them together to fit more. I use them to tie all sorts of things. Usually in the back

The metal hooks are covered with rubber to protect the…

They won't crush the edges of your board like they would with a nylon strap alone, and they won't flap around like a big rubber band like bungee cords. I use three in case one ever fails (ask an engineer). I was skeptical given the price compared to the alternatives but now I like them much better, they seem like a good deal. I'd be very sad if Thule discontinued them: REI stopped selling them, but luckily they're still available from

I saw these (or very similar ones) on a friend's car and thought it would be a perfect alternative to the big weight belts we carry with tedious placement Simply tie the kayak to the roof rack. For context: I live in Hawaii and most weekends I have to take a kayak, surfboard or a mix to the beach, a hard life I know. The design is simple, which is good. like, something like. One end is sewn into a loop, through this loop you pull the short part of the main strap and hook it to one end of the…
