Useful boogie board modification for freedive spearfishing
I bought a used speargun and scuba regulator assembly at a very good bargain price from a really cool Korean guy who's an incredibly experienced freediver and spear fisherman. Here's a nifty little device he cooked up for managing gear, "diver down" flag, and temporary stowage of fish (as well as for paddling out to kelp forest, of course):
As you can see, he cut three sets of holes through the board, passing bungee cords through those pairs and establishing permanent loops in the cord. Some of those loops are available for temporarily hanging bagged fish. The bungee on the other side of the board is unlooped and used for stowing fins while the rig is carried backpack-style in the intertidal zone. There's also a hole near the bow of the board for a diver-down flag:
