SUP-Now Paddleboard Carry Strap Shoulder Sling

I recently purchased the SUP-NOW Paddle Board Accessories Carrier SUP Carrying Strap, and I can confidently say it’s been a game-changer for my paddleboarding adventures! This strap makes transporting my board effortless and comfortable, leaving me free to enjoy the water instead of dreading the trek from my car. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or just starting out, this accessory is a must-have. Pros: • Super Easy to Use: The setup is a breeze—just wrap the straps around your board, secure the paddle with the Velcro, and you’re good to go. It took me less than five minutes to figure out the first time! • Comfortable Design: The triple-padded neoprene shoulder pad is a standout feature. It’s soft, durable, and distributes the weight of my board perfectly, saving my shoulder from strain even on longer walks. • Sturdy and Reliable: With all-metal hardware and industrial-strength Velcro straps, this thing feels built to last. I’ve carried my heavy rigid paddleboard multiple times, and it holds up without a hitch. • Hands-Free Convenience: The paddle holder is genius—I can use the paddle as a handle or just secure it and carry other gear with my free hands. It’s made trips to the water so much smoother. • Adjustable Fit: The strap adjusts to fit both me (5’4”) and my taller partner (6’1”), and it works with boards of all sizes. Plus, the lifetime warranty gives me peace of mind that SUP-NOW stands behind their product. Cons: • Slight Learning Curve: While it’s easy once you get the hang of it, the first setup might feel a bit fiddly if you don’t read the updated instructions carefully. • Not Ideal for Super Heavy Boards Over Long Distances: It’s great for most trips, but if you’ve got a really heavy board and a half-mile hike, you might still feel the weight on your shoulder after a while. (Though wheels might be a better option in that case anyway.) • Paddle Strap Could Be Tighter: The Velcro is strong, but on windy days, I’ve noticed the paddle wiggle a bit—nothing major, just a minor tweak I’d love to see improved. Overall, the SUP-NOW Carrying Strap has made my paddleboarding experience so much more enjoyable. It’s well-made, practical, and worth every penny. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to simplify their board transport—five stars all the way!

As a family taking on the hobby of kayaking, we didn't realize how hard they would be to carry. I purchased a 10' while my wife got an 8'. The kids have 6' kayaks. The larger ones weighed at least 45-50+ lbs according to the sticker. As much as we love kayaking, we were about to return them because the burden of carrying them to/from the lake was just too much. That's when I searched online for ways to carry kayaks. I stumbled across kayak dollies, but those are too awkward (especially having to get them for multiple people). The same search showed shoulder straps. One thing led to another and I found all sorts of products on Amazon. Ultimately, I went with the SUP-NOW brand. Despite the straps being marketed towards stand up paddleboards, some reviews mentioned they have been used for kayaks. Although I was unsure about the price (there are cheap knockoffs on Amazon), I bought SUP-NOW's because of the glowing reviews. Upon use, I cannot believe what a difference it makes. The price vs quality cannot be beat and it makes kayaking for my family much easier. Easier to carry means we will do it more often. Thanks SUP-NOW!

This item was much better than I hoped for and I had high hopes to begin with. The design is very simple. 2 straps go around your board and you tighten them up and adjust the clips to one side of your board then attach the shoulder strap. The straps can stay on your board and you can easily unclip the shoulder strap to avoid drag while paddling. Quick and convenient! The straps are well padded and feel like you could walk a great distance without an issue. The board stays close to your body and if you have your straps located near the center of the board then the board balances out and barely feels like you're carrying anything. The magic of the straps for me personally are the Velcro pieces. Line them up on the top of the board and you can strap your paddle down while carrying. It also gives you an anchor point for your paddle while doing SUP Yoga of if you were on a lazy creek ride and wanted to take some pics. For those wondering about size I have a titanic board and the straps fit with plenty of room left for adjustments. My board is 14' and 4 3/4" thick. It's a HovieSUP Pursuit racing/touring model board. If the straps will easily fit my big boy they will fit your board. An added nice touch is one of the straps have a little mesh storage compartment. I was trying a few different pair of polarized glasses out yesterday on the water and placed one pair in the pouch. It doesn't completely close but it will keep items inside and secure. Convenient for those who tour and take a lot of items with them!

This was a game-changer for me, I've got a 12' SUP that was really awkward to carry more than a minute or two, so happy this product existed and works as advertised! I had initially tried throwing the carry strap over my head and onto my opposite shoulder, but it's more comfortable to just have on the same shoulder as the board, it didn't move around or slip off like I had assumed it would have. If it gets super windy, you might want to have it on your opposite shoulder to make sure it doesn't slip off. Be sure to check out SUP-Now's cooler bag too if you haven't seen it already!

It’s perfect … makes bringing my board across the road so much easier … already been asked where I got it …

The strap is good, but I don’t recommend for small people. I’m 5’ and 120lbs carrying my paddle board is far too difficult! I do have a large board. So it’s not the fault of the strap at all!! For small folks like myself or anyone who struggle with heavy awkward things, invest in wheels instead! For those who are bigger and stronger, them I highly recommend this strap! My friend who is normal sized, had no issues using the strap!

I had it in my head for a few years that I’d like to paddle board. After some research on good beginner boards I Finally took the plunge and purchased this board. It was easy to set up and easy to carry. I was able to stand up and paddled around the lake for a few hours the first day I owned it. It is very comfortable, for sit, stand or kneeling. The option to use the kayak style paddle is fantastic and allowed me an easy transition from lake to river. I am very happy with my purchase!!!!

This carry strap does not work well. Slides down the board if not exactly centered and then the struggle is on to re-enter and balance it. The keepers for the straps that go around the board are just small cloth things and they are ineffective if they slip down at all. Then the straps loosen and end up spinning round the board and the paddle gets dislodged and its annoying as hell. The velcro paddle holders and small mesh bag are really useful. 3 stars just because of them.
