Surf smart — get a key made for the waves, not just the road.

Having a surfer key made offers a few key benefits, especially when you're heading into the water and don't want to risk losing or damaging your regular car or house keys. Here's why it's useful:  

• Surfer keys are usually basic, non-electronic duplicates (no fob, chip, or electronics).
• Safe to take into the ocean — no risk of electronic failure from saltwater

• Since it's a stripped-down version of your key, it usually doesn't provide full access to everything (e.g., it won’t start the car if the chip isn't in it).
   
• If it gets lost, it’s cheaper to replace and doesn’t compromise your full security

• Surfers often hide their keys in their wheel well, towel, or under a rock — all risky options.
   
• With a surfer key, you can keep your key on you using a waterproof pouch, key holder, or even on a necklace

• You’re not stressing about your keys being stolen from the beach.
   
• You’re not worried about electronics getting fried by saltwater or sand
