Press Release:
Surfers Get a Grip
Rail Grabber™ by surf legend Linda Benson, provides a comfortable way to carry a surfboard
Solana Beach, CA. Updated April 20, 2012– International Surfing Hall of Fame member Linda Benson announced the official launch of Rail Grabber™, a lightweight inconspicuous tool designed to solve the challenge of transporting wide surfboards to the beach.
Rail Grabber solves the problem many men, women and children struggle with when trying to fit their arm around a wide, heavy surfboard. The product acts as an extension of the hand, giving surfers a secure grip on the rail. Rail Grabber puts any surf destination within reach, whether the hike is a block or a mile.
Nominated for Connect’s Most Innovative Product Award in the action sports category, the convenience offered by the Rail Grabber is on par with the surfboard leash. Made of strong and durable UV resistant plastic attached to an easy-grip handle by a nylon cord, the Rail Grabber also features a pad to grip and cushion your surfboard.
Linda has recently partnered with Heads Co., Ltd. for countrywide distribution of Rail Grabber in Japan.
