Rack Pads, Straps & Stands
Roof rack pads, tie-down straps, and board stands to haul and store your quiver safely. The gear that gets your board to the beach and keeps it off the ground.
Get your board there and back
Soft rack pads wrap your crossbars so boards ride without dings, and quality tie-down straps with protected buckles keep everything locked down on the freeway. At home, a board stand or wall rack keeps your quiver organized and off the floor. Pair with a board bag for extra protection on long drives.
Tie-down tips
Use two straps over the board and a nose or tail line for highway speeds. Snug, not crushing, so you do not pressure-ding the deck. Cinch the loose strap end so it does not flap and wear.
Frequently asked questions
How do I tie a surfboard to a roof rack?
Lay the board fins-up on soft rack pads, run a strap over the board around each crossbar, and tighten until snug but not crushing. For freeway speeds, add a nose line to the front of the car to stop lift.
Do I need rack pads if I have a board bag?
Rack pads protect the board and your crossbars and stop the board from sliding. A bag adds padding, but the pads and straps are what secure it to the car, so most people use both.
What is a board stand for?
A board stand or wall rack stores your board safely off the ground at home or in the shop, which prevents dings and keeps a quiver organized and out of the way.
