Anyone have an idea if there is a van out there that will fit a 14' sup inside and be drive-able? Would like to be able to take the board to work and go straight from there to the water. Also have a paddle then go to the pub for a few lemonades!

Yep I used to do downwinders with a friend that had a Mazda E2000 LWB (well at least I'm 99.9% sure it was).
You could fit 2 x 14's in with the front passenger seat folded down.

I am sure the Mercedes Benz LWB sprinter and the LWB Volkswage don't know what it's called will easily fit 14'

Whilst the Mazda E2000 LWD that I mentioned could fit 2 14's no worries you could only fit the driver up front, anyone else had to sit in the back.

What I have been wondering is what is the shortest van you can fit 2 x14'ers in and still fit 2 people up front.
Some sort of high roof van that you could have the boards just below the roof and above the driver and passengers heads so you could still have a bed/camper set up in the back.

I think the extra long wheel base Toyota hiace 12 seater will be a great choice too ..get rid of the seats.
oh what a feeling.

Yes i had 12 foot 6 inch alpha in my Toyota SLWB with plenty of room left over..Both the SLWB and the commuter in the hiace are the exact same dimensions one just comes with windows and seats as opposed to the SLWB which is just a shell inside...
