does it stand up on its own for loading purposes?

Not sure what you referring to with "it", but you must position the back of the board on the padded bar between the wheels, while the front of the board lays on the ground, and then a strap holds the board in place. You can maneuver the board by either pushing or pulling it by the front of the board depending if you are trekking up an incline or down. The SUP Wheels work very well for transporting the board to the water.

Nope, it flops over. It's not too difficult to shove the back end of your board in there if the board is laying on the ground, though. The biggest problem I have with it is that the wheels are skinny and wobbly, and I have a very hard time pulling it over deep sand and over the pavers that line the path down to the beach.

yes, quite easy to use. the securing strap broke after a few weeks but you can buy replacements at Home Depot for $3 and are better quality. Most important is that your hands are dry when moving around or I reach under neath and grab the bungee cord (Boardworks Raven board) and it makes it easier to walk around. Wet hands trying to hold onto my board make is a more difficult.

Yes, it is attached and does not come off, but comes completely up. Very easy to load

No, it stands on it's own!! It's quite heavy so we have it on a planter caddy, so we can move it. Had it a long time and only blown over once in a heavy storm! Love it, hope you do too!!

Yes, it will stand up on its own. (BTW, kudos for spelling "its" correctly both times.)

It stands on it's own. The only time ours has toppled is when it was full and someone knocked into it.

It can stand by itself. I do not have a frame either. I pushed it back to the wall, and pushed the box and mattress to Headboard.

As long as you stand it as show in the photo (in a W shape, not straight) it stands fine on its own. I haven't had any issues with mine.

No, it stands up very well. I bought it for my granddaughter who's in college and she loves it. She got it for Christmas and uses it daily. I asked her how she liked it and she said it has been great.

No. Infact I tried to bend it so that it could be and it defininetly is not meant to be used as a stand! You can kind of open it and it will stand up, but the slightest jiggle knocks it down.

It stands on it's own. You don't need to attach it to anything. I suppose you could attach it if you wanted to, but I never have.

It doesn't "lock" per say but it does stand and looks fine by itself with the stabilizers at a lower width / not fully extended.

Unfortunately, no. It is not wide (from front to back) enough to stand up unassisted. It's also heavy and that will make it fall over.

It stands on its own just fine. We are very pleased with the bag and its capacity.

It's my Guess that it WILL stand up. It's very solid. Of course have another there to do a test weight load.

If you arrange it with a couple of angles it should stand on its own just fine.

Yes, it stands on it's own provided you've not overstuffed the bag. Whenever I pack the appropriate amount for the bag (which is a lot of clothes) the bag stands fine. Otherwise you have to balance it or it will tip forward on the soft side of the bag.

I've had mine like this for the past year and I've never had a problem with it. It is very sturdy and stands on it's own, not leaning against the house.
