Other Some hood storage

I figured i'd share what I did a couple weeks ago with a otterbox 2500 I ordered. It fits perfect and clearances my limited pipe. Very easy to remove/replace the box and it's tight underneath the strap.

I got the stainless steel eye bolts from home depot, drilled 2 holes and glassed them in. Just becareful not to drill too far. One hole I only had about 1/4" depth so I had to cut down the threads of the eyebolt.

The rubber strap is a "adjustable" type from homedepot. It has holes already made so you can cut/shorten it to your desired length. Play around and you should be able to get just the right amount of tension. The S-hooks that come with it are crap, I bought stainless steel s-hooks instead and crimped one side so I wouldn't lose the strap.

I then turfed the bottom of the otterbox so it wouldn't shift too much and not scratch the paint on the hood.

This turned out great, I keep my cell phone/car keys/registration/cigs/lighter/seatow card and still have room inside.

thats a good idea! i left my factory tool kit on the beach on accident, probably wouldnt have forgot it if it was in a sweet water tight box.

oh btw how does the go pro footage look inside the hull? haha
 
Thats awsome, Would hate to have car keys and phone in it if it where to go down tho!

My car key has a chip inside that is needed to start the car. This car key goes for $80 to have made. Already salt water killed my keyless entry remote that cost me $70 from the dealer and $80 to my diagnostic guy to program with a GM Tech 2 scanner (thats a deal, the dealer would be $150+)! I keep a copied key without the chip just to open the door on my car. Very expensive oops!

Best place to store that mount when im not using it! I also use a helmet mount to get other views. I love using the suction cup mount facing the rider. I can't wait until the water/air temp rises so my dad can ride a stand up for the first time! Should be some epic footage.
 
Come ride some surf and I can show you how to wreck that little box. lol


Bring teddy with you!

Yea man I already been out like 6 times this year. I think im hooked on the superjet. We went on Sat, choppy as :):):):) but a good time. Teddy went for the blaster backflip and i did nearly an inverted stab on flat water. Should be a good season considering it's only march and getting inverted already haha. I'll be out sat afternoon or sunday
