Knee Saving Hook for Snowboarders

I can't believe the years I've snowboarded without taking better care of my knees when riding the gondola! I ski in Eldora, Colorado and there, the lifts take a long time to get to the top of the slopes - so, my right knee (cuz I'm goofy-foot) always feels stressed from having my snowboard dangle at an awkward angle the entire trip up.

Well, be sore no more... and SOAR! (sorry!) Use this simple hook, in combination with a 30 cm (12 inch) segment of rope (plus or minus a few cms/inches, depending on your size) and a carabiner - and you'll be able to comfortably carve the slopes all day long, knee-pain free! Carabiner end secures to a loop in your garment (I use the ringlet for gloves on my ski vest) and hook the other end to the board - and relax as you ascend to your next trailhead in comfort.

Give it a try - I think you'll be very glad you did. :)

The end result should be single print.. no support necessary.

PS - I thought about making this a kickstarter but now I just want to share it with the world and make it a better place… so, make sure to share the love :)
