Waterproof Pouch

little lady

Came across an waterproof pouch (bumbag) in heatons today. It's made of neoprene and has a plastic waterproof sealable pocket on the inside, just clips around your waist.

Thought people might be interested as I never have anywhere to leave my car keys when I go surfing and thought it would be handy for that. Was only €10.50

I've got one of those, they're dead handy. But I forgot to bring it today, so I improvised by putting my key inside a tobacco pouch, which I put inside a tayto bag, which I put inside the plastic case I got my fins in. Did the trick!

Keypod - They're fairly decent but when you're locking it to the car you should still put it out of sight (i.e - Not on the hitch) otherwise you're just advertising that your keys are available.

Bubbleloc rash vest looks pretty cool, would bumbag type thing not be really awkward and keep you from lying comfortably on your board? Don't have a key compartment on my new leash so was thinking of buying some velcro and sewing on a pocket, will have a goo at my rashies and see if I could do something secure and comfy

Never thought of that, although I could put the pouch to the back, so it wouldn't be in the way.

Can't see it staying put after a wipeout, might be more annoying than it's worth but good luck! If its dainty enough would it fit under your suit towards the back? Could look a bit suspicious though

The bubble loc is tried and tested, and secure - right tool for the right job

Worries about sewing velcro etc, do that on your leash, kiss the key goodbye.
As for on the vest - the bubbleloc is very secure, with a padded secure pouch.
My worry would be from a home made pouch would be contents working their way lose

Haven't been able to get in the water much lately but as I have a van to get changed in (woohoo!) I don't really fancy getting down to my rashy in the open air to get my keys. Am thinking a new leash is the handiest, haven't had time to look at my new one to see if I could stitch something onto it.
