Carry Handle for Mirage Eclipse

The Mirage Eclipse needs a handle on the front for carrying and also to tie up behind a boat. Is there one available?
Can a Hobie dealer fit one? Has anyone done this yet? Would love to hear everyones ideas.

For a 'temporary solution', you might try; -- https://www.storeyourboard.com/sup-tran ... ction-cup/ --. Google, "suction carry handle".

Thanks for that. Good link, the problem is that the front surface of the board is a complicated shape. I have come across these small rubber pads with threaded holes and 3M adhesive backs. They are made for wind surfer boards for putting foot holds etc. I have located a source for the pads but not for the screw in handle which I know exists. Can anyone help?

Very bad idea to use the suction cup on a fiberglass board. That would cause possible delamination issues. Absolutely not recommended by Hobie.

Thats good to know.
Adhesives are Ok? 3M make this for windsurfboards

Better, but pulling up on the board's skin when carried would be iffy. I think something that wraps around the bow and a wider web strap could work. Maybe eyes on either side aft of the nose to guide a carry strap pool around the bow. Take it of when using. attach when carrying maybe?
