Seems like if it was strong enough to hold your board to the roof, it'd be probably a ***** to then remove. Or if easy to remove, I'd worry about my board killing someone 'Lethal Weapon' (or 'Lethal Weapon 2'?) style...
this^ and i need to see some highway testing before I approve. No mechanical fix points at 55+ mph sounds like disaster waiting to happen.
The other issue is that if you have a magnet big enough to hold down the force imparted by a couple or more surfboards at 70 mph then I guarantee that it is screwing your brain up, probably your cell phones that are in the car, possibly the computers controlling your car, etc. etc. As well, the magnets would pin asstail donkey to the roof inside the rig due to the metal plates in his head.
there are things that just don't need to be improved upon. Traditional roof racks are just fine. Barbasol shaving cream, too, is just fine. You don't need to work on either one of those items. Magnetic roof racks will suck. Foaming shaving gel sucks. Work sucks too. Just adding that one in to the "things that suck" bucket.
True dat; however, he uses the phone book under his buttockals so he can see over the steering wheel.
looks like a bad idea. stuff gets real on the highway. that's not only a threat to everyone's safety around you, it will probably F up your roof too.
