Hello Starscream. How long is your paddle board? I was admiring your photo showing how you have it stored on your boat and am considering doing the same thing with a sea kayak. Thanks for your help.

This is the one that I bought, from Costco:

It's in CDN $ so the US version would be much less, I presume.

Overall it's very nice, but...one of the kayak-chair D-rings ripped out, and I had to repair with HH-66, and there is no actual tow attachment at the front of the board so I had to add more D-rings with HH-66 adhesive to create a decent place to tow the empty board. Both were very simple and inexpensive fixes, and I suppose you can't own a paddleboard without having the proper adhesive and extra D-rings.
