Looking for a soft rack for surfboards for my car?

Question

I have a 1970 VW Squareback and am looking for a soft rack (removable) that will fit two longboards. Any recommendations?

Answer 1

I used to have this sweet rack that consisted of nylon straps, metal hooks and cams, and foam tubes.  I always kept it in my trunk and it worked for everything from my surfboards to lumber and ladders (kayaks too).  I used it on everything from a pickup/van, large/small car to a Porsche 914.  Worked great.

I scored it at the Ron Jon's Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach Fl. way back in 1987, but I believe they still carry some.  I have not seen them anywhere else, but I'm sure most any surf shop would carry one form or another of a soft rack if you looked hard enough.

Here's the Ron Jon site:

30-50 bones and you are golden.

Good luck.
