Description

This is designed to hold a telescopic whip antenna to your paddleboard using a bungee cord. You're going to need one of those red threaded antenna branches designed for dipoles, and a 10m screw to attach your ground wire, and drape it into the water. The antenna goes in the hole pointing at the sky.

The bungee cord attaches to the board wherever you can, pulled tight, and either tied off or clamped off, and this will hold the contraption to the deck of the board.

This is so incredibly unique. Love the idea. I was trying to figure out why the bungee recessed are at an angle under the bottom. Do you also have yours attached/anchored to a built-in camera/cup-holder mount on the front of the board? And what kind of performance are you seeing with your setup? 73

I have it anchored to this part right here, this is just how my bungee is anchored, and that's the angle it is on mine. I have two of the costco boards, and they both have that one centerline loop, but it could also be attached to any of the anchor points on the board. The cut out had no impact really, but I left it it in the final model. Performance wise, it works great! especially on salt water.
