SUP Things Deck Rigging Kit - Light

These things worked very well for me on a two hour paddle. Given the lackluster reviews here, before going out on my first excursion with them I left them attached to my board (a Riviera 10'6) with some gear stuffed under the cords for several hours at home and even after several hours they were still holding fast. Went out for a two hour paddle with a dry bag and PFD stuffed underneath the cords and they held very well. After the paddle I picked up my board with the SUPthings still attached and my life jacket still stuffed underneath them, and carried the board about a hundred yards to my car. Even tipped sideways and loaded they continued to hold until I detached them.You do want your board to be clean and dry when you attach these, and I suspect they'll only work on a fiberglass/epoxy board because suction cups generally don't hold well on any surface with give or texture. I looked up a youtube from a shop that sells these and got a very useful tip: you have to press down on the center very firmly until you hear a slight "pop" or click - that sound is a sign that the suction cups are fully attached. I didn't hear that sound for every cup every time I attach these but most of them produced that sound and even the ones that didn't held well if I pushed down very firmly on the center of the cup. They come off very easily when you lift on the little release tab. They're a great removable option for stowing stuff on an epoxy/fiberglass board. I still clip everything I'm stowing under them to something that floats just to be safe (an empty milk jug) just in case they do detach - I don't want my stuff sinking to the bottom. We'll see how they hold up long term but they work great so far.

This product works exactly as described. My SUP is made of TuffLite epoxy and has a smooth surface. I cleaned the area where the suctions cups were going to go with glass cleaner and then dried it thoroughly. The suction cups sealed completely when I pressed them firmly. I was able to lift the board itself by the bungee cord (see the attached photo). It is a very strong hold. The cord is durable and it has a good synch to keep it tight. You should only buy this product if you're planning to attach the suction cups to a completely smooth surface. Any texture will affect the suction cups' ability to grip fully and it won't work.

It's been doing alright. I have put quite a bit in the bungee and haven't had too many issues. I have one suction cup that's come undone a couple times. Could blame that on my board being dirty though. Overall I'm happy with it. The cord is really long too so you can custom it to meet your sizing needs.

I just bought a paddle board and needed deck rigging to hold stuff. Since I'm new to paddle boarding, I have no clue where I want to put everything so I didn't want to install something permanent. This is the perfect solution because the suction cups hold nicely to the board, but I can move them around if and when I want. Ordering from a non-Prime vendor was surprisingly amazing!!! They sent me a confirmation email to let me know approximately when to expect the product. I received it just one day after I would have if I'd ordered through Amazon Prime which WAY exceeded my expectations!! All-in-all, I'm a very happy customer!!!

Saw the reviews and was weary of purchasing but needed something for the deck of my board, and I was glad I did! I have a hard/smooth surfaced board and I made sure the surface was clean and dry so when I stuck the suction cups on the deck they all held very well. I crammed my pfd, dry box, sunblock, 2 pairs of sandals and 2 big bottles of water under it for 3+ hours while getting splashed the entire time and it held strong. I like it so much I just ordered a second for my wife's board too. Definitely recommend!

I really wanted these to work-- the idea of being able to remove them and readjust them, and not have to permanently stick anything on to my paddle board seemed great, and when they came they seem like great quality (which is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1). HOWEVER, they WILL NOT stick at all to my inflatable SUP, probably because the surface of my SUP is slightly texturized. I have read reviews on here where people state that these suction cups worked on their inflatable SUPs, but all I can think is that those people must have a very smooth deck. So if you have an inflatable SUP, I do not recommend you buying these, you'll have to get the permanent glue on kind.

I am very disappointed in this product. I followed the instructions precisely when I put it on, my SUP was clean and dry. The suction cups stuck well initially however, about 20 minutes into my paddle, one came loose. Since I was out on the water and the board was wet it would not stick back on. Throughout the paddle, two more came up and I ended up having to tie my water bottle on. I thought maybe I'd done something wrong so I gave it a second try--same thing happened.

The suction doesn't work on my inflatable board. Specifically, I bought a Tower SUP wanting to hook up some easy rigging when inflated. Unfortunately, it doesn't stick to the surface and I had to return it. If I had a smooth surfaced hard board, I could see this product working great.
