Longboarde transportation tips

Hey don't they make surfing borts?

 

dont buy a prius

 

so what happen was:

 

thats whats happens when you buy a prius

 

If you put the fin facing forward you can fly once you hit 88mph

 

Have soft racks too. Used same set for past 3 1/2 years so far for as many as three boards at a time. One strap wore out and broke, so just tied back together. Buzz can be annoying. Have twisted straps, and that helps some. Driving under 50 also helps. Driving into the wind can add to the buzz factor.
But the BIGGEST issue for me is when it rains. Straps act as wicks, and water drips in car. Also hardware on racks will easily scratch paint on roof if you're not careful.

 

Just put the board inside. Problem solved.

 

When I had to use surf racks- the old school kind where my favorite.

These- super easy to attach a board - just a bungee cord and hook-and it holds better then soft racks, even at high speeds:

If i was serious about transporting a board- and didn't want to put it in my car/truck- I would get something better then soft racks. I would only use soft racks for car rentals during surf trips
