I know! Couldn't believe it first time I did it. It's a 2008 Prius 4 door. The interior is such that all seats but drivers seat can fold down real flat. You just slide in the board, fin side up, nose first, through the hatchback and it secures under the front passenger dashboard. Then slide in second longboard on top, putting rolled up towel to protect fins on bottom board. Then throw the short board on top toward back of car. Fit other gear around it on the floor. Passenger fits in back seat behind driver. Hatch completely closes,and boards are even with the bottom of side windows.
Still pretty crazy, my 10'0" barely fits in my Honda Odyssey, but I can handle 4 passengers with it in there, and a few more boards.
I can fit my 9'0 Stewart in my 4 door civic. I actually like being able to lock the board in there so I can stop at the store on the way home. Ideally I would have some sort of roof racks or a truck but im too poore
Ha, yeah, I hear ya. A few years ago when I first started I had a foamie strapped to the roof of our Durango. Stopped at the store to grab an item or two. Came out of the store 10 minutes later to find the board gone. Middle of the day, busy parking lot. Fortunately the morons didn't take the Dakine pads and decent straps I had that were worth more than the beat up foamie bort they stole. Couldn't believe it.
Yeah, I've got Racks, but anyone who's ever tried to get a 10'0" longboard into anything other than a ground-level motel room knows why I like the fact that it fits in the car.
Ya know, the idea of the crossbow is good; I would like to try it. They should come in different sizes??
I had a 91 ford escort gt a long time ago- I used to fit a 9'6 in there easily It did look funny tho- such a small car...
Agreed- I'm over roof racks... Haven't had them in years due to pickup truck. So much easier and less worries... Also had a Honda Element at one time- fit many boards in that as well... In fact- if I didn't have a truck- I would rather put a board inside a car then use roof racks...
Honda Odyssey Load all my **** in there with room to spare. Vans are the shiznit yo!! Plus I look like a Hasidic Jew when on the creep!
