    I didn't say it's a legit long board, I said it's a MINI LB, not to be confused with my legit longboard which is 9ft and regulation size. Reading comprehension isn't your forte is it numb nuts?

    Some of the contests I've seen were 9'0" or at least 3' taller than the rider. DP are you 5'1"?

    Throw a brick through the back window. That will work for the summer. You'll have to find something a little more permanent by winter though.

    That is some great advise. I just did just that. Signed a lease next to Bunker Surfsop in Mission Beach - Move in on Wednesday.
    The only thing i did differently was sell the girl. I kept my car ;)

    In a truck that size- it's best just to fit it inside diagonal from the back left to the front passenger dashboard. Use a towel on the dash if it's new truck. Also you may need to put the front seat back. I used todo this with an old ford escort hatch back- you should be good.

    a few, as in a few on the front and a few on the back will do ok below 40. I had a scary situation back in the day with bungees. Never again.

    Yeah, I don't trust bungees at all. Besides, my ride to the beach is mostly highway.

    Creatures soft pad racks work fine with everything and only buzz if you don't close the door with them as tight as possible from my experience. I think they're about $25 from what I've seen

    All straps will buzz or viberate if you don't put a twist in them. Physics.
