Has anyone used one of these, are they worth the dollars (currently $500 on the website)
Found on the family holiday that the walk from the campsite to the water with 2 sups was a chore, and walking back after SUP was the last thing I wanted to do.
But way to short to justify strapping to the roof of the ute
Any comments appreciated

Yeah I use mine every family holiday to get from holiday house to water. With 12'6" and 14' boards, it's a godsend.
Thanks for the recommendations.
The beechwheels looks the goods too and cheaper
Also found the mule system
www.muletransportsystems.com/
It looks the goods too, I will do some research, i have 50 weeks till we go back
the best one i have bought so far is the mule at first i was going to return it to the manufacturer with a big turd in it....then realised i was dumb and the mule was the best board carrier by far
To be honest I have been thinking of one over Xmas hols as my arm was killing and had a few too many rests between surf and van. But $500 bucks ? That's 1/5th of my Next Sup - DC14.
Any cheaper ones ? And would they get knocked off easy when surfing ?
I have a quiver kaddy, use it all the time to walk the 800m to the local, lock it up with a bike lock. Also use it a bit to take the Kids boards, towels, mask and snorkles, boogie boards, frisbees, cricket sets, lunch esky...... etc etc to the beach.. Good bit of kit I picked mine up from a surf shop for way less than $500. I can also tow behind bike and it will get a bit of use taking the nippers boards down to surfclub in the commig weeks.
You can build a similar thing to the mule from a bunnings $30 trolley... thats what I would do next.
Every time i get out of the water i feel like my board has taken on water . It is all ways twice as heavy on the way home. I am worried some one will steal it while i am out surfing.
I've had my Quiver Kaddy for many years now and it has been worth every cent. I don't use it behind a bike so don't know how they go with them.
We use our quiver kaddy all the time. Fits 3 SUPs easy. Makes the 500m walk to Caves Beach bearable. Also room for wetties, towels etc in the bottom & paddles down the middle. Luv it to bits & as someone already said, Quiver Kaddy is sponsoring/supporting quite a few SUP events. Also comes with a bike extension for carrying longer sups behind the bike (one in pic is only 8'11" so we didn't use the extension).
Whole trolly folds down to fit into boot of car etc & only takes about 3 minutes to put back up. Can also have wheels removed to fit in a back pack.
Get one of these from Supacheap for $25 and chop off the blade with an angle grinder. Attach the board(s) using those elastic straps and you are done. You can put some protective / soft material on the metal frame if you need. Use some duct tape to keep it in place. Cheap, nasty and effective. Alternatively just use the axel and wheels and build your own.
