I often find myself lugging my SUP across rocky shores or campground parking lots, which isn't always a joy. This shoulder strap really helps with the load, making those treks less of a struggle.
The padded design does a nice job distributing the weight, and it adjusts to fit most boards and kayaks. Having a built-in loop for the paddle is a smart touch, keeping my hands free for other gear.
However, I've noticed that if you have a heavier or wider board, the length adjustment can be a bit tricky, not providing the perfect fit every time. Still, it beats the old way of awkwardly tucking everything under one arm.
