How to strap your surfboard or SUP to a car's roof rack in under 30 seconds- easy, fast and secure.
WARNING: Do not use this method if your roof racks are not completely SOLID as this method will pull the bars together, this pulling force increases when driving fast and if your racks move, this will loosen the strap. Also don't use a worn out strap or buckle that allows any slippage and don't use this method if you plan to drive faster than 50 mph or on stormy days. Use common sense, if in doubt, use two straps.
Another advantage of the one strap method is that you can hold onto the board while strapping it down, which is especially important on windy days.

Ensure Safety and Security: How to Strap Your Surfboard or SUP to Your Car Roof Rack
Planning a surf or standup paddleboarding (sport) adventure? Safely transporting your board to the water is crucial for a successful outing. Follow these expert tips on strapping your board to your car roof rack for a worry-free journey.
Step 1: Prepare Your Roof Rack
Before strapping your board, ensure your car's roof rack is clean and free of debris. Position the rack pads securely to protect both your board and your vehicle from scratches and damage.
Step 2: Position Your Board
Carefully place your surfboard or SUP on the roof rack with the fins facing upward. Ensure the board is centered and positioned parallel to the vehicle for optimal stability during transit.
Step 3: Attach the Straps
Using high-quality straps designed for surfboards or SUPs, begin securing your board to the roof rack. Start by feeding the straps through the rack and around the board, making sure to tighten them evenly on both sides.
Step 4: Tie Down the Board
Once the straps are in place, tie them securely using a reliable knot such as a cinch knot or a trucker's hitch. Double-check the tension to ensure your board is firmly strapped to the roof rack and won't shift during travel.
Step 5: Test for Security
Give your board a gentle tug to confirm it's securely fastened to the roof rack. If there's any movement, recheck the straps and knots to ensure everything is properly tightened and secured.
With these simple steps, you can safely strap your surfboard or SUP to your car roof rack and hit the road with confidence. Remember, proper strapping is essential for both your safety and the protection of your board and vehicle. Happy surfing!

@@blueplanetsurf what's going to be great is that I'm going to use this trick on my boat. When loading SUP's back onto the rack when anchored, it's just a giant pita to move from one side of the boat to the other to reach straps. Your hack will allow me to tie it down without having to shuffle from side to side, threatening imminent death by whale attack if I misstep and take a plunge.

It’s pretty simple- over one side , under both racks, over other side, strap. Just make sure the racks are tight and can’t move, otherwise this method is not safe.

[@AnnaelleD]

I was asking myself if I could strap my board this way... Now I know. Thank you !

[@blueplanetsurf]

Yes, you can strap several boards using this method if you are traveling a short distance at low speeds and are sure your racks can't more and straps and buckle are solid. We recommend using two straps for two or more boards for a tighter, more secure strapping job (one strap in front and one in back)

[@blueplanetsurf]

+Carol Dannenbrink, that's great

[@paulosilva-dm1qb]

Hi blue, In fact by using one strap You are creating a tremendous pressure on the racks forcing them to come together. the correct would be using two straps individually, passing them around each rack. this way creating only an upward tension.

[@blueplanetsurf]

+paulo silva- Yes, that is correct, using the single strap method will pull the racks together, which is why you should only use it if your racks are attached very solidly to your car and you are not going very far or fast. Using two straps is better and safer in many ways, so if you are not sure how solid your racks are, or anytime you go longer distances, higher speed or transport bigger boards, USE TWO STRAPS!

[@baileyb3977]

That's cool. I'm going to try that tomorrow! Thank you!

[@blueplanetsurf]

Yes, John, this method is not safe the the racks can move at all on the roof or if the strap can loosen. You should always use two straps and err on the side of safety if there is any doubt.

[@staticclay]

Thank you Robert you rule man!

[@blueplanetsurf]

🙏👍😎🤙🏼

[@blueplanetsurf]

@mysteryguyzation , It's good to have the rack pads to protect your board from getting pressure dents from the racks. Most Stand up boards have padded EVA foam deck pads that provide some protection, so if the pad sits on the rack, you could use it without a pad, although pads are always recommended.

For an hour long drive I would use two straps. No extra padding needed. 🤙🏼

[@jpcatapano]

Absolutely love this but afraid to try it on the Long Island Expressway.

[@blueplanetsurf]

+John Catapano yes, this method should only be used for shorter distances and with solid racks, as many have noted, this pulls your racks together if they have any wiggle room and that will loosen the straps. So if in doubt, always use two straps to secure your board better than with this quick and easy single strap method.

Hello i have 2 quick questions first of all is it possible to fit in a short Surfboard on the Toyota IQ car model in your opinion. My second question is that in your opinion which is the best action camcorder for surfing. As there are lots of specially designed surfing cameras i would like to hear your opinion which one to pick and choose the best one out. There is this Sony AS200V Cam. GoPros off course, Sony RX0 II , Ricoh WG-50 . And SeaLife DC2000 . These are some really good models out there in the market. Please have a look at them abd advise me accordingly which one you think is the best. I understand that you may not have a fixed opinion on this matter but, whatever advise you give me i will pay heed to it. Thanks

[@blueplanetsurf]

Hi Carl, if the board is short enough it will fit but make sure it’s the right board for you, not for the car. Regarding action cams, I have been using GoPros for a long time and they keep improving. The new GoPro max is pretty sweet and countless accessories are available. 🤙🏼

[@mjl.9-19]

What about if you have a board bag, the reflective type? They're a bit bulky.do you use a different method?

[@blueplanetsurf]

Hi Michael. If in doubt always use two straps its more secure and safer. The one strap method will work on a board in a bag but make sure the racks are solid and can't move and you are using a good quality strap.

[@nerazzurrolcv]

I have a 330lt inflatable sup. If i put it on the roof rack and strap it with this way, how many km/h should i drive?

[@blueplanetsurf]

If in doubt, use two straps, that will always be safer, especially if you are traveling longer distances and/ or going over 50 mph. I have used the one strap method safely (using a good strap and with solid roof racks that can't move around, which is absolutely essential) with up to 17' long boards going up to 60 mph on shorter drives. As mentioned, this method is not safe if the roof racks can slide or the strap buckle does not clamp the strap 100% securely, the upward lift created by the windshield when driving at higher speeds is very powerful and will put a lot of tension on the straps which pulls the roof rack bars together, if they can slide closer together, the strap looses tension, the board lifts and generates even more force, so this can be dangerous. The volume of the board does not really matter. Most of the forces are caused by lift to the part of the board that extends over the windshield, so the more surface area you have over the windshield, the more careful you should be as the forces increase exponentially the faster you drive.

[@vickianlezark7534]

Awesome ! Thank you ....

[@jonesmagones5174]

What kind of roof rack is that and can you do 2 boards?

[@blueplanetsurf]

+Jones Magones, you need hard racks with solid attachment points that can't slip to use this method as the strap tension will pull the racks together. Make sure the hard racks are attached well to the roof and can't slide back and forth. I use Rhino Racks, which we sell at our shop but any quality hard racks will work, like Thule or Yakima racks. Regarding two boards, I answered that before, it's possible but I only recommend it for short trips at low speeds. Anytime you travel longer distances at higher speeds and or have longer, bigger boards, I would recommend using two straps, one in the front, one in the back. Also watch our video on transporting multiple boards.

[@johnenomoto7453]

Oh and BTW, when your racks move towards one another your strap becomes loose and there goes your $1800 SUP Board or Boards flying off down the freeway. One 1" strap only has about 600 lbs tensile strength. One 1" strap wrapped around the bar with both ends over the board has 1200 lbs of tensile strength. One strap on each bar ties the board down with 2400 lbs of tensile strength. If you cause a crash because you lost your load, you are responsible for all of the cars that you take out!

[@johnw2604]

While you were doing all your calculations, you forgot to observe that he has a fixed rack. It's can't move toward each other. Same with anyone using fixed cross bars.

[@juliairizarry2436]

how can I strap down a board on a jeep soft top

[@blueplanetsurf]

Check out this video if you don't have hard racks: How to strap a SUP or surfboard to a car without roof racks

[@johnenomoto5367]

At our roof rack/truck rack store we have had 4 roof racks fail using this method and their SUP Boards flew off into traffic at high speed. Common sense is one strap per bar! It only takes a few seconds longer and it doubles the strength of the straps and the racks stay in place. What we are seeing is the top of the both racks being pulled towards the center of the car and the front of the clip getting all of the stress until it flexes outwards and the front rack flies off with the board. Sometime the rear bar rips off with the rest of the equipment and there is a lot of damage to the door frames not to mention the equipment tied to the top of the rack. That's the least of it if you're lucky! Any cars you take out by accident in addition to screwing up your own car will be your responsibility! When a rack fails our customers come in to see why their rack came off (they want to think that it is our fault) and as soon as we hear they used a single strap we can show them why their racks failed. The rack manufacturers will not repair or replace your equipment when if it flies off your vehicle and you really should read the instructions that come with the rack system you get installed. The instructions tell you to put the skeg (fin) forward and tie a rope from the leash plug to the front hood or bumper to lessen wind loading coming from the front of the car to the underside of the board.

[@blueplanetsurf]

Hi John, Thanks for the comment. I agree that this method is not safe for travel at anything but low speeds. What's interesting is that you were actually the one who first showed me this method at Go Bananas many years ago. You were using it to tie down your rental kayaks at the time when we were neighbors on Kapahulu. I thought it was great and have used it for many years although I have also noticed the downsides and usually use two straps to be safe. This method should only be used with super solid racks, smaller boards, driving at low speeds.

Whoa........This is not a safe method to tie anything onto after market roof racks! I sell and install roof racks and truck racks and we have customers coming in saying their racks are scratching up their door frames. When we inspect the car and find that the racks have moved towards each other we know that they're using the one strap method. Think about it, the racks under pressure can only move forwards or backwards on the door frame. Using one strap will pull them towards each other.

This allows the board to move side to side but i did not want to be a smartass and tell him that after he just spent 10 minutes walking around his car to strap his board. I also made this more in depth video on strapping boards:

Skip to 2.00 a lot of crap just in time to see this guy break a record of 28 sec .now could you do it a little slower so we can all see the way it’s done.

Yes, or you can watch the short version here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWTTkn9ua81ofbs

Horrible video. All about showing off but what we care about is the ability to explain how to do it. Rather spend a few more minutes and do it right!

You need to learn to get to the point. You talk too much.

Awesome, the video was really helpful to be fair. I tied my board and I made the trip to the North Shore of Oahu.@@blueplanetsurf
