A standup paddle board grip handle mounted flush on the board for quickly and easily carrying the board. The absence of moving parts on the handle prevents it from malfunctioning due to clogging by sand, salt, or other debris and helps to keep the handle clean and functional at all times. The molded rubber grip surface provides comfort when gripping the handle to carry the board and prevents it from slipping from the hand even when it is wet. The ergonomic design of the grip handle makes it possible for it to be integrated into other boards including even hollow construction water craft using any surface mounted application where the extended flange on the top part of the grip handle sits on top of the surface skin of the craft. The voids on the grip handle allow for the passage of a lock cable to secure the board.
