APC Gary Hobbs, certified as an Aloha computer professional. Weighing 5 oz, our SUPGrip Handle is designed to be comfortable and easy to use.
My personal test involved running a strap through the handle and jumping on it with my bodyweight (200 pounds) with no problem. The only issues that have been encountered were related to poor installation make sure to cover the top of the handle with layers of glass. Additionally, when you lift the board on the rail first and then lift Lifting flat on the ground or water) will put less strain on the handle (and your back will thank you).
The question is a good one. Version 3 is the handle that is being sold on Amazon now. The rubber grip is molded onto the handle (unlike the gentleman who wrote the 1 star review, there are no glue marks on the handle). There is an inset threaded hole for an optional vent plug on each model as well. In order to use a vent plug, drill a hole through the base of the inset after installation without damaging the threads, then screw in the We are not carrying self venting plugs on our Amazon shop at the moment, but you can buy them on our website or by calling our shop if you want. During a visit to Honolulu, we went to Blue Planet Surf. *Please note As part of the board setup, you will want to install the handle so the vent is centered on the stringer (slightly offset) and drill two holes that are angled into either side of the foam, so the plug can drain both foam halves.
There is no doubt that the handle itself is very sturdy. We tested it to hold over 200 pounds. It is made out of very strong fiber reinforced nylon Injection molded nylon, we have seen failures only from poor installation, and never from the handle itself.

It is part of a stand-up paddle board, and I purchased it to install it. I definitely like the product itself and believe it will do what I want, but it is of poor quality. My handle was coated with excess glue which turned the plastic white. Furthermore, it was made up of two pieces and glued together. The handle had a rubber cushion on it but mine had an excess of glue. In my case, I had thick glue coating the bottom of the top flange of the handle. would have to sand down the wood where there is excess glue, so I think it will be more difficult to install. Provide me with a premium product. You can get similar products for a third of the cost if you charge a premium.
The blue planet grip changed my experience paddle boarding. I used to have a 13 feet wide, very heavy paddle board that was difficult to manage to drag to the beach and then carry to the apartment until a local specialist installed a box in it, and now it is very easy to carry.
When your arms are like jello because you refused to paddle in after a long paddle or an intense surf session, it makes the carry a lot easier. In order to install it properly you will need a plunge router and some experience with resins or epoxy, or a pro with knowledge of how to do it. You can see how I installed mine in a surftech Gerry Lopez Big Darling in the photos I attached. I had to make some serious effort, but in the end, it was totally worth it and my SUP had a whole new lease on life.
This finger grip slot was installed in a neighbor's SUP because he could not get a good grip using the The boardwalk was filled with herds, making it difficult to carry them. Using the new BP SUP grip, he will be able to carry the board very easily for a long distance without fatigue. The product is fantastic.
The perfect size for a paddleboard, but too large.
As I was building a SUP, I needed it exactly. It appears to be a good solution. The plastic is good quality and the construction is sturdy.
The handle on this board is unique and much more practical than the handle of other After replacing the handle of a top brand board with this one, I am totally blown away by the difference. When you have to pick up a board quickly or you have to transport it, it makes a difference.
I needed exactly what you provided. installed it under the deck of a prototype plywood SUP that I am building, and it works wonderfully.
