Well, winter is upon us and soon there will be big gusty choppy conditions. Therefore I was wanting a surfboard with straps. Being a tightass I don't really want to buy another board or stick-on pads because I will only use it a couple of times. However, I do have heaps of old surfboards laying around, one little guy that I thought about installing some straps too.

So, my idea is to drill some big holes, fill the holes with some kind of resin/glue and then text screw some old straps into the glue/resin. Do you think this would work? Any better ideas that don't cost more than $50?
