Bought two of these for my girlfriend and I and we cannot say enough good things about these straps. They are easy to use and incredibly convenient, not to mention really fun looking. My girlfriend loves the shoulder strap and we both love how quickly we are able to connect and disconnect from each other’s boards. We’ve also been able to stand and paddle while connected and found it still incredibly easy to keep our balance. Seriously, if you are even considering the thought of buying these stop thinking and just buy them. You won’t regret it!
