I only do that while sitting in the parking lot.
Ha, that makes sense. I would rather have the fabric wear out than having the cover fly away.

Cheers,

My experience.
Bought one for my 14 x 26.25 BlackBox UNO. The nose was too wide for the narrow entry on the board, and the cut out for the fin was far too long. I also was concerned about the single fabric at the nose wearing out quickly as well. I went to the local sewing shop, and reduced the size of the fin cut out and pulled the front sides together back about 14" to narrow the nose and put a second layer of fabric at the very front to insure the bow wold not cut through it. This cost me $20 and everything now works fine and does not flap too much at 65 MPH. It is nice not to have the weight of a full padded cover added to the board weight and a lot less wind resistance when carrying it. It seems to provide good sun protection.
One other tip for boards with a concave bottom, where the straps want to vibrate. I slide a piece of 1/2" foam under the cover about 36" x 26" in size so the straps catch it at both front and rear positions, this completely stops the buzzing. You do not have to twist the straps.
Glad to see the manufacturer has doubled up the nose fabric, suggest a Velcro strip on the fin cutout and perhaps on the front as well to narrow the nose width.

Love my topless board cover, really keeps the board cool. I throw mine on over my sup strapped to my car while at work and pull it off when I leave. If you put it on the board and then strap it, it's a bit slippery and the straps will wear into the fabric. Need one for my ski now!
Have you ever had any problem with it becoming loose? I was considering doing this but choose against it as I was too scared that it would fly away on the next car on the highway.

Don't know what Geno is doing.

But he doesn't have the resources for fabric and materials that Victotry does..
And we have made improvements as necessary

It would be good to add some new pictures to the KoreDry sight showing the improvements and changes or even putting them in the description.
