Surfboard roof racks

A good surfboard roof rack is an important piece of gear for the surf enthusiast. Damage can occur to a surfboard if it is not properly stored while in transit and your surfboard could block your view through the rear window. And the last thing you need is a banged up board when you reach your destination.

A roof rack attaches to the top our your car and keeps your surfboard secure during your travels.

Some surfboard roof racks are both a rack and a bag to carry your gear. So the two most typical types are hard and soft racks. Hard racks have are more sturdily constructed and are usually more expensive. The hard racks are easier to use, so if you surf often it is a good option. Some hard racks require you to have a pre-installed luggage rack.

The more versatile soft rack is the only option if your vehicle doesn't have a pre-installed luggage rack. The last thing you want to do is damage your board or your vehicle with the wrong roof rack.
