Keyless car keys and surfing: why the problem has changed

Surfing has not changed that much. Car keys have.

For years, many surfers solved the problem by taking a simple metal spare key inside their wetsuit. Today, many vehicles use electronic fobs and proximity keys that need to stay dry and may also communicate wirelessly with the car.

That means something that used to be simple has become a small concern before every session.

The usual solutions tend to be the same: leave the key with someone else, hide it near the vehicle or use an external storage device. Each can work in certain circumstances, but they have one thing in common: your key is no longer with you.

KGUARD Key Pouch takes a different approach: protect the electronic key from water so it can stay with you.

Its compact format is designed to take up as little space as possible. Flexible silicone adapts to different key shapes, while the closure system applies pressure around the neck of the pouch. KGUARD is IPX8 certified and was created with activities such as surfing, bodyboarding, windsurfing, kitesurfing, SUP, kayaking and open-water swimming in mind.

It is not about adding more gear to a surf session. It is about removing one concern.

Prepare the board. Put on the wetsuit. Secure the key. Get in the water.

That is how simple it should be.
