We're boaters too and we love to see how other
boaters are using the Sandspike®

Because the Sandspike® works on all types
of beaches we like to show how people across
the country are using the Sandspike®. Small
boat, large boats, Jet Skis, PWC's, Planes,
Kayaks, Canoes and Rafts are some of the many
uses for the Sandspike®. Below are testimonials
and pictures of all types of watercraft that the
Sandspike® is compatible with. If you have a
particular application that you are proud of, send
it to use and we will try and put it up on this
website for all to see.

It's a small minority of boat owners who frequent the Dunes on Quilomene Lake that have yet to experience the convenient, durable and simple to use "Sandspike®". They are wonderful. The other products you have to offer such as the "Anchor Line" and"Anchor Buddy", all color coordinated, complete and an attractive package that works and looks great! Sandspike® really helps to make boating fun!

Ernesto sent us this photo of his Yamaha GP1200R using a Silver Sandspike® and wrote us the following. Thanks Ernesto! Well, first off I know you cant see the Sandspike®.... BUT!! To me this is the best way for my Ski.........I anchor off shore. As you can see I take care of my GP & try to keep the hull off the shore when I can. I just go to about 5 feet deep and stick my silver Sand Spike in with my foot..............This was at the sandbar in Havasu, as you can tell it's pretty crowded. A Sandspike® on a short leash is just what you need to avoid your boat bumping into a 100K twin hull!! The Sandspike® really is a simple but fantastic product........... You must get a ton of referral business, because everyone always asks me about how the Sandspike® works.........& I love to tell them they're fools for not having one!!! Keep up the great work.

P.S My partner and I also use two blue Sandspikes® to hold our 20Ft Yamaha LS2000 which is our Up & coming company's (JetSet Motorsports) PWC support vehicle. One at the bow & if there is any current, one at the stern & our 2000lb Jet Boat is secure.

Another Happy Customer writes: Well we finally made it to the river and put your Sandspike® to the test. What can I say. It is the best thing we've used yet to keep us on the beach. All the photos were taken on Lake Havasu over Columbus weekend. Weather was perfect as you can see and we had a great time. Hope you can use some of these shots on your website. By the way our baby is a 2000 Hallett 210. It is the boat of boats. Thanks for a great product and we will definitely be telling everyone where they can get their own. Take care and happy boating. Thanks, Dale and Paula!

The uses for the Sandspike are almost unlimited! I use it to keep my Sunsetter at the beach and I have extras to tie down the Easy- Up that I use for shade, after seeing so many boats having to pull onto the beach or tie up to a rock, or whatever they could find, I'll never be without my Sandspike!

Here are some photos of my plane using my Sandspikes (2). We really like the Sandspikes. They work as advertised, and are nice and light, which matters in a small plane.

Hi my name is , I took my 2001 Reinell 203 out for the first time last weekend with the Sandspike, Loved It! Held great loved the floating marker, boat never moved. I mentioned it to a few people on the cove and they had never seen one before. They all said they would be getting ahold of you. Easy to use and I will make sure people know about it, perfect for my lake (Lake San Antonio) Lockwood, California. Thanks for a great product!

Seaplanes have a different tie down issue than wheel planes. The tie down tools for wheels are placed under the wing and have the purpose of keeping the wing from lifting, the tool must prevent the airplane from flipping over in high winds. Typical stakes either screw into the ground our have other methods to distribute the load to prevent being pulled up and out of the ground. Normally wheel plane tie downs have an advantage of being next to a runway and are on hard ground which makes the screw in anchor a good solution. A seaplane is tied along a shoreline where we have sand, gravel or mud. The force on the anchor is from the side. SandSpikes are the only solution which seems to work in this situation. I carry two 19 inch and one 12 inch spike. I carry two lines for the front of the floats to the shore of about 75 feet each and a back line of about 30 feet.  This keeps the nose into the wind which is critical for float planes. The extra weight of the floats usually is enough to keep the plane from flip you fill the floats with water to keep the plane grounded.   SandSpikes are the only solution that works. I have tested them on 7 trips to Alaska and the have worked for me in all situations.
