KEYGUARD PRO PADLOCK LOCK BOX<br />
RRP $49.00<br />
Forget jamming a key into your wetsuit or<br />
legrope, or worst, leaving it on your tyre...<br />
This little keysafe is how we kept our<br />
motorhome locked up and gear protected<br />
while we were in the surf through NZ.<br />
The major advantage of this system over<br />
other car key lock compartments is its<br />
punch-in pin code, as opposed to the<br />
standard twist combination lock. With<br />
those systems, if you come in from your<br />
surf after dark you can’t see the numbers<br />
to enter your combination code, but you<br />
can feel your way around this one in the<br />
dark. Super sturdy housing as well.<br />

ROBE UP<br />
HOODED PONCHO<br />
$59.95 from Ocean & Earth<br />
Ever wrapped a towel around your waist to<br />
take the rest of your steamer off only to trip,<br />
lose your towel and land buck naked on the<br />
ground with your wetsuit around your ankles?<br />
Show your wares no more. Warm, plush and<br />
not too short. It also doubles as a dressing<br />
gown or imaginary boxing robe. I liked it so<br />
much I wanted to wear it out on the town.<br />

PACKing SMART<br />
STEALTH SUPER SONIC 105 LITRE TRAVEL BAG<br />
RRP $199.95 from Ocean & Earth<br />
This bag is an absolute cracker. Super sturdy for the<br />
rough and tumble of travel with durable inline skate<br />
wheels and retractable handle. The best aspect of the<br />
bag however is the split compartments allowing for<br />
easy access to your gear. A big thumbs up!<br />
Split<br />
compartments...<br />
very smart<br />
Plenty of space<br />
and a handy<br />
inner net<br />
compartment<br />
MEGA WASP TRAVEL BAG RRP $79.99<br />
We realised this waterproof bag wasn’t only brilliant<br />
at keeping your gear dry, it was great at keeping your<br />
wet gear in. On our way home, we packed all our wet<br />
wetties in the bag. Any other bag would have been<br />
saturated. Super strong. www.waspbags.com.au<br />
GO BANANAS<br />
BANANA WAX<br />
RRP $5.00 for an 80g block<br />
This stuff is super tacky. Best used<br />
as a top coat on a hard wax base.<br />
Can understand what all the hype is<br />
about and why this wax has become<br />
particularly popular with aerialists.<br />
Strong underground following.<br />

KanuLock<br />
tiedown<br />
straps<br />
RRP $79.95<br />
Once we left our motorhome behind in Christchurch the<br />
only way to securely fasten our boards to our hire car<br />
was with our lockable KanuLock tiedown straps.On the<br />
road and at home, these would be one of our most used<br />
pieces of equipment at smorgasboarder.<br />
