Place your stick against the wall in a vertical or horizontal position wrap the strap around to fit snugly to your stick. Place the wall protector to the fin that has contact with the wall.

	Stikups were conceived and designed by UK designer and surfer, Jon Taylor. Jon started surfing back in the early seventies and his passion for surfing as a way of life hasn't diminished to this day. Jon had traveled to many corners of the globe over the years and collected many boards on the way. Jon has kept every board he’s acquired, because they hold memories of certain days or trips and the way that the design of surfboards have evolved over the years.
Being a designer he was not happy with his boards hidden away - he regards boards as works of art and wanted them around when he wasn't by the coast.		Trying to find a display system for his boards so he could display them around his house was impossible, anything aesthetically pleasing just didn't exist.

So he set about designing one for himself, with functionality and the aesthetics of equal importance.
