Trying to locate carrying handles to retro fit into a couple of boards.
Anybody know who stocks the more comfortable ergo ones in Australia? Prefer the ones like in JP or similar.
Any tips on installation?
Would one bother with a block of high density foam around handle?
Best method of trying to save current deck grip?

Thanks.

Get a router to do the job , can even make up a timber gig for you to place down to make the cut smoother ,
buy the handle then masking tape over the hole part as resin not to fall into the handle itself cut out the hole template then drop the handle in so the top lip sits slightly above the deck stick the handle in with resin qcell mix once it's gone off glass over the top of it , sand back once hardened then make sure there are no air bubbles !

or call me I will talk you through it

Thanks Piros, Shapers only had old ones on website when I looked. Will give them a buzz.

And Dan, cheers for the heads up. One of the boards is Goaty's 8'3". Hard to carry on those big windy days.

I ordered a handle from shapers at the start of the week. The picture on the website is the older style, was stoked when I opened the box this arvo and found a nice ledge style handle. And only 7 bucks!

Just an updated heads up

I ordered 3 handles from shapers by email and received the old, not so useful, straight ones.
