Surfboard Racks and Surfboard Carriers
Both Thule Racks and Yakima Racks now offer a dedicated surfboard rack that will help you bring your surfboard to the beach. Surf Board Racks are not complicated: they act as a clamp that will secure up to two boards laid flat on your roof. Yakima's StrapThang Surfboard carrier consist of straps that attach to your roof rack, sliding over your board easily to secure it to your crossbar. Thule's Hang Two surfboard Carrier features a soft, oversized cradle to protect your board and also is a universal fit: it can be used with any Thule Roof Rack system as well as Yakima Racks and most factory racks.
Popular Surfboard Rack Accessory
A popular accessory for the Yakima Surfboard Rack are Yakima Crossbar Pads. These pads will provide a cushion between your board and your crossbar, reducing the pressure the board places on the crossbar and reducing the chance that your boards will end up scratched. We highly recommend adding Yakima Crossbar pads to your Yakima Surfboard Rack.
