Rasant/Straps - The T^Pull

Meet the Founder & CEO of Rasant/Straps! @ssimkovics From ocean lifeguard to small business owner, I’ve spent years in the water—rescuing, responding, and seeing firsthand the gear challenges lifeguards face. As a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and former active-duty Naval Officer, I combined my leadership experience with my time as a professional ocean lifeguard in San Diego to create a real-world solution. The T^Pull was born from necessity—a patented, purpose-built strap designed to help first responders deploy rescue boards faster and safer when every second counts. What started as a lifesaving tool has evolved into a versatile, high-performance strap for lifeguards, surfers, and outdoor adventurers alike. The mission? Function, durability, and innovation—built for those who rely on their gear. 🚀 Built by lifeguards, for lifeguards—but the innovation doesn’t stop there. Whether you're an ocean rescue professional, a surfer, or an outdoor adventurer, @rasantstraps is here to change the way you strap and secure your gear. We’re just getting started. Follow along for more innovation and adventure. 🌊 #Rasant #TPull #LifeguardInnovation #BuiltForHeroes #OceanRescue #SurferLife #OutdoorGear #AdventureReady #Lifeguards #Waterman #RescueReady

The @qtacfire EMS-F is a UTV rescue skid that is designed to be extremely light weight and easy to load and unload into your vehicle. ‍It’s designed for rapid deployment for rescue missions, special event medical standby, and backcountry search and rescue.

@polarisgov utility demo. Multiple setups. Same result. @rasantstraps T^PULL Strap was built to secure gear fast and release instantly — no ratchets, no knots, no wasted time. Boards, equipment, tools — whatever the job requires. Designed for real-world use where speed and simplicity matter. 👉 Link in bio to buy #rescueready #lifeguards #polarisoffroad #adventureready #atv

Two straps. Two approaches. Thule 531 “express” strap that requires two hands and multiple steps to remove. @rasantstraps T^PULL fast-release system designed so a @p2prescue board can be deployed with one hand. When seconds matter during a rescue, small design changes can make a real difference. The goal was simple: secure the board fast — release it even faster. #SurfRescue #LifeguardLife #RescueEquipment #OceanSafety #lifeguards
