  Depends on the board
  Posted by: Marshall on Mar-17-12 10:53 AM (EST)

The Tahoe SUP has recessed deck fittings so clipping on a bungee cargo net is simple.

There are peel and stick velcro lash tabs on the market that'd allow you to customize your attachments

I wonder if those gel-rubber cell phone mounts would work. The one on the console of my car is stuck but good with no glue.

Other suggestions will chime in I'm sure.

Happy Green Appreciation Day!

bribe those in canoes to haul the freight. Going rate is a 4-pack of Guinness draft cans.

  How do you carry things on your SUP

The most common way is to attach stick on loops on your deck then loop bungy, rope or camstraps for securing of gear. Kayak style or auto shop small cargo nets are also a great option once you've created an anchor. get raft plug loops if you have an inflatable.

Products like NSI, EZ Plugs and Surftech's tie-down kit work well. Depending on your deck type (epoxy or rubber mat) some use epoxy to attach the plugs down if the default stick material isn't securing.

if you have the ability to glass in Leash Plugs, that's the most secure way to anchor to. they're also flush with your board when not in use.

check out a video i did for canoe kayak last summer on the subject..

Get a canoe to carry your gear !! SUP's are like the Emperor has no clothes. If I had a SUP thingy, the first thing I'd do is bungy a milk crate to it upside down so I could sit down once in awhile. Can't believe how much money people are dishing out for these surf board reject 's. Never thought I'd see something on the water even crappyier than Box store, cookie cutter, plastic kayak's. (aka 'pool toy's')
There, that's my first, only, and last B+B on SUP's. Just needed to get it out of my system just once. Now go enjoy, you paid for it.

wickerbutt - sup is another way to get on the water. you can sit without a milk crate, as well as kneel - essentially you could see it as an open canoe.

  I have a softtop

Will these attachments adhere to a softtop? I'm not thinking expedition, but food and water for a day.

  There's always a backpack!!!

  towing
  Posted by: sandport on Apr-25-12 4:07 PM (EST)

can you tow a canoe behind you and fill it with gear?

  plenty of board space

the Badfish has deck rigging. My Doyle board has no rigging at all, therefore I use a small dry sack and just throw it loosely on deck. It's not going anywhere on flatwater.

Boardworks Raven has nice bungees like the front deck of a kayak. Clip a drybag on & under. Even two.

The Boardworks BadFish series does too.
So does the Bark called the Expedition or something like that (a long touring style board, got a glimpse of one on a car last weekend)

Also tried a small 50 oz hydration fanny pack, not awkward but I think I'd rather put it in the bungees and just stop to have a drink.

Gonna try out a waist pack I use for cc skiing - room for a plastic water bottle, small pocket for keys & small stuff, larger pocket for my "water wallet" & sunscreen
