Default Waterproof (non-electronic) keys for use while surfing...

Anyone know the where to get and the cost of extra service keys? I've been using the plastic wallet key (waterproof w\out electronics, good for watersports) for a little while now, and I'm worried about wearing it out and / or snapping the key while opening the door.

Any suggestions?

Maybe you can use the valet key?

Default I put the valet key on my tire when I surf - just make sure no one sees you do it

No need to take it in the water with you. If you have to, use the valet key and put it on your leash pocket, or wetsuit pocket.

I take the key apart and leave the remote portion in the car while I SCUBA dive.

Default I get the service key wet all the time. No issues.

I mean the non-folding key with the wrench symbol on it. It goes inside my wetsuit for windsurfing all the time. Three years with the S4 and now with the allroad. No problemo. And S4's don't even use the immobilizer stuff in the key.
