Strap It Up, Behind Your Back

Wandering around a ski show sometimes presents you with the opportunity to see some new and different products. During one show, for example, I came across someone selling FastStrap carriers. They are, as the name suggests, straps (about the width of a very wide belt) that you can use to carry a snowboarad, surfboard, pair of skis, boots, and other sports-related equipment.

They have glorified snowboard leashes as well as straps for carrying your board behind your back.

Useful? Not? I don’t know. I normally don’t travel that far between my car and the hill to use the snowboard strap. Plus, my pockets are full enough as it is.

But some people may find such a strap useful.
