Hey Guys,

I just brought a 9'8 starboard and 11'6 naish and was wondering whats the best way to transport them.

I have roof racks on the car, do you guys usually put boards stacked 2 high? i.e one on top of the other or should they be side by side...I dont even think they would fit side by side.

Any idea what load the roof racks need to be rated to? I am bit woried about seeing 1000s of $ bouncing on the road in the rear view mirror.

Good quality racks are are generally rated to 80kg (and manu. specs as well), so weight is no drama. Even if you could fit them side by side, I would stack them ontop of each other as the aerodynamics are better.

Thanks guys.

I have a subaru imprezza and a delica. Really just wanted to know if they are ok stacked up on top of each other

Hi Andrew

I have stacked my 11'2 starboard and a friends whopper on top of each other no problem just need long enough tie downs.

I am sure you would do this but put the long board down first with the smaller on top. I have seen some guys put them fin firt but i prefer the nose pointing to the front of the car.



or you can do it this way

There's another one that is more extreme than this...

We have done 100km trips with 4 sups stacked on top no problems.
