SUPGrip by Blue PlanetThis innovative patented SUPGrip handle allows for quickly accessible, secure and comfortable handling and carrying of Stand Up PaddleBoards. No moving parts mean nothing can get stuck or malfunction and this handle will remain unaffected by sand and salt. This high strength injection molded nylon SUPGrip handle was designed specifically for Stand Up Paddleboards in Hawaii by Robert Stehlik. US Patent No. 9120218,  the SUPGrip handle comes standard in all production Blue Planet SUP and SUP Foil boards and is the preferred handle for custom SUP boards.SUPGrip makes it easy to grab your Stand Up Paddle Board quickly and securely, which is especially important for racing and in the shore break. The molded rubber grip surface is comfortable and grippy even when wet. Whether you’re a professional or a beginner, having a safe and comfortable way to manage and carry your SUP can help you enjoy your sport with more confidence.Added feature - Since this handle is super strong and allows for full grip it also enables you to securely store your board by wrapping a locking cable through it.INSTALLATIONInstallation depth is 1 ¾", experience with a plunge router and epoxy resin/ glass needed for DYI installation, professional installation recommended. Please watch the video for installation instructions, please note that top of the handle should be covered with at least 2-3 layers of fiberglass to connect to the deck of the board for a solid installation. We recommend using Gorilla Glue to glue handle into foam, weigh down while glue is curing, then glass over the top with clear epoxy resin. If you are not experienced with these materials or are unsure about the installation process - do seek assistance from your nearest board repair professional. Once you try SUPGrip you’ll never go back to a finger hold handle again!

Poor quality control
I purchased this to install into a stich and glue stand up paddleboard. I like the product itself and I believe it will work as intended but the product quality is poor. The handle has a glued on rubber pad where you grip it, but mine had excess glue all over which turned the plastic white. In addition the handle is fabricated in two pieces then glued together. My handle had a thick glue all over the bottom of the top flange. I think this will make it harder to install because I will have to sand down the wood where there is the excess glue. If you charge a premium price give me a premium product. You can get similar products for a third of the price.

Huge Improvement to my SUP!
This grip makes a HUGE difference, once installed in your SUP. It makes the carry so much easier, especially after a long paddle or intense surf session when your arms are like jello because you refused to paddle in.The most important thing you need to know is that you need a pro to install it, or a plunge router and some experience working with resins or epoxy. I attached a couple photos of how I installed mine in a Surftech Gerry Lopez Big Darling.In the end, it was totally worth the effort and my SUP had new life breathed into it.

Get a solid handle on your SUP
I Installed this in a neighbors SUP, he couldn't get a good grip with original finger grip slot. Which made it herd to carry on the boardwalk. With the new BP SUP grip he can easily carry the board without fatigue for long distances. Great product.

Good buy
It was exactly what I needed for the SUP I was building. Seems like it will work well. Good quality plastic, sturdy build.

Better than new handles
Clever and practical design that surpasses the carrying handle in many boards. I had a top name brand board's handle replaced with this one and it is SO much better. Makes a difference when having to grab board quickly or just transporting it.

Great handle
Exactly what I needed. I fitted it under the deck of a prototype plywood SUP I am building, it feels great.

Best handle
Our company uses this sup handle in our boards that are handmade. Wish would have found it before our first boards was made. Thanks more in stock would be helpful though.
