NEW SURFBOARD CARRYING DEVICE-BOARDSLING

May-5-2010 By Birdie the Boardie

SLING IT!--BOARDSLING

New Surfboard Carrying Device

Surfboard Carrier- Easy As, A…BOARDSLING

How lucky if you only live a couple of minutes to the beach, but if you are like most of us you usually have a lot of walking to do to get to that perfect break.

Boards are sometimes awkward and heavy when you need to carry any distance.

Boardsling Surfboard Carrying Device

There is a way out however, and it’s called a Boardsling surfboard carrier that is surprisingly easy to use. Gone are the heavy board bags with their slings when you use one of these. Simplicity and ease is it’s major feature.

Just a few points in the Boardsling’s favour.

a/ Carries that big heavy board with ease

b/ Don’t need long arms.

c/ Makes a long walk easy.

d/ Helps eliminate sore back and muscles

e/ Hah! Even the kids can carry their own now!

You know it’s available at the Surf-Shop Peregian Beach and it’s only $49.95

So get every body to carry their own boards, and you can bet when you have one and forget to throw it in the car when you leave for the beach, you will definitely kick yourself for doing so. Just leave it attached to your board when you pack it away, that way you won’t forget it, and hang it up by the strap when you get home is the trick.

New Surfboard Carrying Device is as easy as

Available locally at Surf-Shop Peregian beach

Robert August was the second child to “Blackie” and Pat August.

Out of this union the second child, Robert arrived at the end of the War in’45. Blackies well known history for partying, surfing, and his generosity, made the August household the place of choice for all the surfing community over the 50′s and 60′s in the Seal Beach coast line of California.
