Better Surf than SorryBig Board Schlepper Stand Up Paddleboard Easy Carry Strap SUP Shoulder Sling Holder Board Carrier

I built a heavy hollow wooden stand up surfboard (12' X 31" X 4") and this carrier has worked great for long hauls into some of my favorite surf sites. It is very durable, easy to hook up to the board and easy to stash in a backpack or into the bushes. I do worry about how long the large plastic three-prong clips will last since my board is about 30 pounds. The paddle holder is a great bonus and works for other things too.

Easy to set up and use. I have the Bote Ahab fishing board which I believe is about 12' long and 2-3' wide and this product works fine. I noticed some feedback that it was hard for shorter people but I am 5'10" and it worked great, even in the wind. The water is about a football field from my house and the Schlepper makes it much easier to get there than trying to manhandle my board, paddle and gear. So far, I'm happy with the purchase.

I recommend it. I was surprised how nice this was for only $35. Sturdy, functional, very adjustable. I like that theres 2 different places for the paddle so you can move to where it wont block the board grip. Im a petite female but preferred to carry it straight rather than cross-body like some of the review mentioned. For comparson sake my board is a wide 10 footer.

Overall the harness is hard to use. Was hoping my teen girls could use this, but they are too short and even with it the boards are heavy. I can use it, but find that the board doesn't stay balanced, so I have keep hold of the paddle and use it to balance the board as I walk.One pro for it though, is that when I get back to the garage I simply hang the board on the wall using the strap.

I purchased this last fall and have gotten a ton of use out of it and have now returned months later for my review. Its fantastic! straight forward design, fast on and fast off. I paddle board with a 12' board in Portland, OR on the Willamette river that splits the city in two, so there is little to no "beach access." I am often parking in the industrial district or in downtown and trekking at least 100 yrds to the river. When I started I would get all my wrist/shoulder injuries (not to mention board dings) from transport to the water. This strap has completely fixed that.Once I made the board schlepper part of my setup, I can park, load out and get to the river, paddle 5 miles and be back to my truck in an hour flat. Killer simple product. Thanks!!

I love the concept of this product. However, I’m only 5 feet tall, and that is a very important factor in how this holder will work for you.Because of the design, at the straps smallest/tightest adjustment, the board still hangs off my shoulder too much for me to actually carry, the board itself is hitting the ground. Worked well for my taller friend and mostly was used for storage in my garage since I bought it. I’d like to see if I can alter it in someway to make the straps go a little tighter so I can use it for carrying. I live about .75 miles from the beach and I’m determined to find a way to make this work and make my life easier!!

I am 5'3" and small. It is difficult for me to get my arm around my paddle board and use the built in handle, so I can only carry it for a very short distance unless I put in on my head!! This SUP sling is awesome and could easily be adjusted for my height. I can easily handle my two dogs and my paddle board now!

Sorry, but i simply cannot believe that this product has decent reviews..as it is fundamentally flawed1. The latch that closes the loops that go around the board are so close to the sling attachment point that the plastic catch is at an angle across the SUP rails so will mark and wear your board. All logic would dictate that an unprotected latch should be on the front of the board where it would simply lay against the deckpad... if it is to be on the bottom of the board..make it a foot away from the attachment point and give it some chafe protection.2. The webbing *appears* to have a neoprene patch to protect the rail that takes the weight of the boar.. it does, but its only a few inches long and is in a fixed location so whether or not this will help your board is a total crap shoot.So, in summary, if you have a cheap plastic board then its ok..but if you have a decent fiberglass board..avoid like the plagueA total waste of money.. no better than a couple of luggage straps and a laptop bag strap
