The Mule Transport System is one of the quickest and easiest ways to carry your surfboard or SUP around. You can even attach it to your bike, making it one of the most popular surfboard carriers you can purchase. It is also one of our favorites if you have to trek long distances to and from the beach.  Here is a quick review on how it works for all who are curious.

The Mule Transport System is a two piece design that attaches to your surfboard at both the tail and nose of your surfboard. The nose section, shown below, simply slides over your nose of your board and is then tighten by pulling the lace that is threaded throughout  the materiel. This section also has a handle, which  allows you wrap it around your hand, wrist, or even bicycle seat for easy carrying.

The next piece includes the axle and wheels that attaches to the tail of your surfboard. This attaches by a tail strap and then a longer strap that connects to the nose section. This main strap is what keeps both sections from falling off and is completely adjustable to fit any size board. Once you attach the two pieces together, simply flip your board over and your set to go.The picture below shows the tail piece.

The Mule Transport System can be used on array of surfboards, SUP’s, and even Kayaks. It also comes with a carrying case to store the two sections when you need to be mobile. The simplicity of the Mule allows you to trek about for hours as it requires little energy, if any, to get about.

If you a small board, a sling may be ideal, but if you have a longboard, SUP, or even Kayak, the Mule Transport System is a must. The further you have to walk to and from the waters edge, the more you can benefit from this awesome carrier.
