Where do you put your car keys when windsurfing, waving or paddling? Fidlock has a small cover that is not as bulky as classic mobile phone cases, but stows the key safely under the wetsuit or drysuit.

The safest place to hide the car key is of course on the right rear wheel, because potential thieves assume that water sports enthusiasts prefer to hide the key on the front left. But if this is too vague for you, hang a thick safe to the towing eye - or take the key with you. Classic mobile phone bags are often larger than necessary and sealed with sometimes bulky, sometimes "windy" clamp fasteners. The Fidlock bag is more suitable in two respects. The size is completely sufficient for the car key and the magnetic fastener is not only opened and closed in a flash, but also provides a double seal thanks to the flat magnetic surfaces and additional folding. A thin neck strap is included in the scope of delivery so that the bag does not slip under the Neo into the shorts. The price is just under 20 euros.

Deputy Editor in Chief surf

Stephan Gölnitz comes from Bochum and had Holland as his home windsurfing territory for many years before moving to Munich in 1996 for the job of test editor at surf magazine. The materials engineering graduate worked as a surf instructor on the Ijsselmeer during his studies and competed for several seasons for the Essen sailing team in the Surfbundesliga and the Funboard Cup. He completed a traineeship at surf-Magazin in the test department and since then has actively accompanied almost all tests on the boom and for more than 10 years also as a photographer. Stephan has covered many thousands of test kilometers, mainly on Lake Garda and in Langebaan, but also in Egypt and Tobago. He gets his hands on over 100 new sails and boards every year as his company car. Privately, he prefers to surf with a foil on Lake Walchensee or “unfortunately far too rarely” in the waves. SUP is Stephan's second passion, which he pursued for several years at numerous SUP races. Today, he prefers to paddle on river tours with family or friends - even for several days.
