extend the entire length of the sports equipment carrier with the one edge beginning at the tongue 28 and the other the edge ending at the fixed loop 24 center fold over point see fig1 however its length can be reduced and chosen for the waist size of its largest user generally a size of at least 1 1 m 44 u2033 works well to accommodate extra large waist size xxl the hook and loop of connecting surfaces face the same direction so that when the tongue 28 passes through the buckle 22 and folds back towards the attachment surface 30 they can form a hook loop type attachment the sports equipment carrier can be used to carry a surfboard or other object sup snow board snow skies sports equipment bags mountain bicycles firewood lumber etc by wrapping it around the lengthwise center of the surfboard or object at roughly the center of mass to utilize the carrier the user can lay the carrier with the hook surface of the tongue 28 facing the ground slide the buckle 22 to approximately the center fold over point of the fixed loop 24 leaving it easily accessible when the surfboard is in place lay the surfboard onto the carrier so its approximate center of mass is on top of the carrier and the length of the surfboard is perpendicular to the length of the carrier see fig5 position the surfboard so that one lengthwise edge of the surfboard is.
