BarKnuckle??
« on: June 28, 2014, 09:57:11 PM »
Anyone used this?

Does it click the paddle in well?


Does it attach easily to the board?

Does it attach super securely?

Does it damage the board at all?

Thanks!!

I've never used one but the BarKnuckle seems to be way over priced at $70.

There are many identical products out there selling for $10 or $15 that are the same thing only without the paddle clips.

Just Google "Double suction cups" or "Fastcap suction cups".

Doesn't your board have a built in handle?

I'm not recommending or endorsing anything, I'm just pointing out a less expensive alternative:

I've never used a suction cup handle with my board, which isn't to say they aren't helpful, just that I haven't found it necessary. The built in handle on my 31" wide Fanatic is fine even with my little t-rex arms. The real p.i.t.a. for me is carrying the paddle along with the board. I find a Paddle Hugger or PaddlePort Holder a more appealing (and wallet-friendly) solution.

Does seem super pricey.

I do have handles but I walk a long way sometimes with the board and would like to be able to move my handle placement at times.  And a friend of mines board doesn't have a handle.

Thanks for the tips!!
