Pair of Block Sandbags

The Block Sandbags, or "Blocks" are your go-to solution for maximum versatility. They mount on either side of the mast and come with long Velcro straps for easy carrying and secure fastening during high-intensity sessions. Compatible with all base types, these are especially suited to the Freestanding kits that come with the Platform Paddles where wider ballast support is needed. The total weight is around 90 pounds (40kg) when filled to full capacity with sand.

When using the Blocks with Platform Paddles I recommend filling them with wet sand. This will increase the weight and also add firmness, which will reduce movement of the Platform Paddles substantially and improve the performance of your Freestanding Kewlus.

Please note that the sandbags do not come filled with sand. To keep the sand from seeping through cracks or accidentally spilling, line each sandbag with a large garbage bag before filling with sand. As you fill it, push the sand into the far corners so that it can be filled to maximum capacity. Once filled, roll up or tie up the opening of the garbage bag and close the velcro flap, ensuring that the two velcro sides are in alignment.

Caution: each sandbag when filled with dry sand weighs around 45 pounds (20kg), and greater with wet sand. Take care of your back when lifting, keeping your back straight and using your legs.
