The Ketch Products X Board measuring board is often one of the approved measuring devices for kayak fishing tournaments to meet current industry standards. In response to requests, Ketch placed the corresponding inch and half-inch numbers on the top of the X Board. The measuring board features a matte anodized finish to reduce glare and resists corrosion better, which saltwater kayak anglers know can be a factor on any equipment. With longer scoring lines than the original board, Ketch states that the aluminum X Board is also lighter and is also Hobie BOS approved. Additionally, these boards can be engraved! If you want to be tournament-ready or just want to prove that you're not making up fish stories about the big one you caught, get a Ketch Products X Board!
