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? |
