Protecting key while surfing

[ndruzen]

Apologies if this has been discussed before but wondering what people use here to protect their key when going surfing or diving? I'd prefer to somehow keep the key on me instead of hiding it in the bushes or the sand. Thanks!

Do they make a super small dry bag? I have one that is about the size of a lunch box, but that would probably be to big for you when surfing.

I have a friend that plasidips his key and then can keep it in his wetsuit.

Try something like this maybe: Amazon.com : WITZ Surfsafe Waterproof Sports Case, Blue : Boating Dry Bags : Sports & Outdoors

You are a prime candidate for this thread on keyless/fobless entry...

I use a snack size Ziplock bag.

If where you park your car when you go surfing has good internet connection, and if you have an Apple Watch Series 2, you could leave your key at home. As long as you leave your iPhone in the car, you can use the Remote S app to lock and unlock the door with your Watch. And Watch 2 is waterproof so hopefully safe for surfing.

This is what I do when I go jogging. No need to carry a key with me (in case it rains). Just make sure you have Internet connection there before embarking on this endeavor.

I don't know if you could duplicate this process with an Android phone and watch.

The key card is 100% waterproof—no bags or cases needed.

This is what I do (zip-tied to back zip strap—haven't surfed with it yet):

If you're surfing with a buddy, you can store your key in their car. If you're near a residential area you could make friends with a resident and ask if you can setup a lockbox on their water main/gas meter/gate and store your key in there. Or you could install a rear tow hitch or tow hook and place the lockbox there...you'll need an RFID blocking sleeve if the key fob is going to be stored near the car though. Some lock boxes might also fit around the wheel spoke if you have the right rims; that'll probably be the easiest way to do it.

The thread is about key fob not card.

 

[PianoAl]

LOL. Never mind.

Take the battery out of the fob. Hide the battery and fob in two different places. Reunite when ready to use it again.

I used a lockbox that attaches to my window and created a “Surf” driver profile that turns off all passive entry and turns on Sentry mode. Has worked well in the Bay Area for the last year I’ve owned the car, hasn’t scratched tinted windows and no ones seemed to mess with it.

Its not Ideal, but I use this faraday bag and hide it on the car while I am surfing.

I also ran the tizen version of the Telsa app on my 4G Galaxy watch, but you need to make sure your car has connection to the internet or you will be locked out.
