Edit:

Okkiteboarder, loved your idea but thought I'd better follow through with an alternative after my previous comment on the shape of the handle riding under your Gong HIPE :idea:

So I spent this evening designing a version of one of my envisaged alternatives and it's here: https://pinshape.com/items/103532-3d-pr ... rab-handle

Feel free to add a link to your youtube if you want.

Printing a blue one in TPU right now... Resilient slightly bendy rubbery plastic.
First print came out a bit minimal. Got one printing out now with some up-sizing :lol:

And here's what I was aiming for but my PC took a long time to crunch the numbers even after simplifying the minkowski function input surfaces for faster computing.
Few will be brave enough to have the underside of their SUP sport one of these. Be careful fingering.
