Just wondering if anyone else or is it just me but I find it almost impossible to carry my E3 board (I am short & I need to travel/walk along a crowded path & then a rocky area to get to the ocean, & the small handle on the bottom of the board is almost useless, & there is no deck hand hole/handle so any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated:-)

I used the screws provided for straps and screwed a strip of duraline fire hose about 30mm wide and 200mm long into the deck. Problem solved. Kalama screws with Armstrong washer as the Armstrong screws were slightly different size. I also like the feel of the screws as a reference point for my feet.

Yeah looks good but where did you get the duraline fire hose from?:-)

On all of my boards I just use a bit of webbing strap and fold under a bit of the ends and put screws and washers through. I don't use such a long strap. I just use enough to get three fingers in. It works great and I barely feel it when I step on it.

Yeah, some of the shops carry webbing that works quite well as Hover62 has mentioned. Shoot me your email and I might have a piece for you.
