Ever been that person at airport security getting your gear pulled apart? Yeah, same here. Last time it was a tiny little wrench and socket I carry for the vent plug on my wing board—nothing dangerous, just essential. But the security had other ideas, and off it went into the confiscation bin. Bit of a buzzkill.

So I decided to sort it out the low-stress way. I designed this lightweight plastic vent plug wrench that does the job perfectly and won’t set off any scanners. It’s not metal, not illegal, and weighs next to nothing—just a few grams. Toss it in your board bag and cruise through security with peace of mind. One less hassle between you and the water.
