As you wish!
I used a pair of existing holes in the hangar to thread the wire and lock it with electrician’s connectors. As you can see, I could have just as easily used a dog leash, a simple loop strap, anything really. Should have too…

Kayak handles work great.

I have been using this strap from some old bag. Just attach by clips when needed or tighten on board. Very comfy vertically on your back.

Wait, are you able to carry it with that handle ? Or you just pull it behind you like a suitcase ?
That’s a clean look ! Does it fold?
No fold. Why would you want it to fold if it’s under the board?
I pull it behind me. I don’t think it’d be very comfortable to carry 12kg on one strap. At some point maybe I’ll make a carrying frame so I can haul it like one of those tall hiking backpacks.

Limit the risk for it to get damaged on rocks or anything. Although if your enclosure is actually taller than the handle I guess there’s no risk
Where can I get one of those handles ?
a hardware store. It’s just a drawer handle
I really like the sound of this! Or the rock climbing grab sounded nice to…
Any pics of this? Quill probably order one and try!

Picture or it didn’t happen?
This current build is the only one I didn’t add a handle to. Too pretty to drill all the way through

@moronicity If you live in a cold climate I suggest adding foam to the handle.

just wrapping up my first build but thought id add some pics of the kayak handle which im actually loving… i put an extra screw into each mount location to keep it from rotating when i hold the board… nice thing is it doesnt rattle on the side of the case either while riding and very ergonomic feel!
