How to Make Your Own Surfboard Lock by Banana

Postby Banana » Wed Apr 11, 2007 7:33 pm

I just finished making a surfboard finbox lock, and found that it was easier than I expected.

You can use this with a security cable to lock your board to your car. Although someone could rip the finbox out, or hacksaw the cable or lock, this system can make it a little less easy for a thief to get your board.

I checked your web site. Pretty cool. Even if someone took the fin out......they still couldn't get the lock off?
