What To Look For When Buying An SUP Carrier

With so many SUP car carriers on the market, it can be a real challenge to determine which model is best for you. That’s why we’ve put together this list to help you narrow down your options. Here’s a few things to keep in mind when you’re looking around for the best fit:

Car Compatibility

While our roof racks pair brilliantly with most vehicles, not every carrier is the right fit for every car. A tiny hatchback may need a different set-up from a large ute.

That’s why you should always check whether the rack you’re looking at is compatible with your car. Some models fit onto pre-built racks while others only work with specific systems. If you’re unsure about what works for your vehicle, just get in touch with our team at XXXX, and we’ll help you find a great fit.

Board Capacity

Did the kids each get a surfboard for Christmas? Are you planning to hit the water with all your mates? Before you plan a family trip to the bach, make sure your carrier has enough room for all the boards you plan to transport.

We strongly advise against going over capacity – that could risk the safety of your boards, your vehicle, and other road users.

Soft or Hard Frames

Your choice of frame comes down to your car’s existing set-up. If your vehicle doesn’t have an in-built roof rack, choose a soft frame. They’re easier to set up and remove, which makes for more efficient transportation.

If your car does not have its own pre-installed rack, a hard rack may be a better choice. While they might be more of a challenge to install or take down, they’re much sturdier, offering more protection for your boards and accessories.

SUP or Surfboard Lock Systems

Some SUP loaders come with their own sturdy Some roof racks come with sturdy lock systems, designed to safeguard your supplies against slipping or theft. Before you shop for the best deals, you’ll want to think about where you’re planning to go and how much security you’ll need for your supplies. Make sure to look at what locking capacity, if any, your racks come with and find one that meets your requirements.

SUP Loading Systems

Paddle boards and surfboards can be heavy. Loading them onto tall vehicles, especially if you’re alone, can be a challenge and even a safety hazard. Some racks come with SUP loading systems, or you can purchase a separate SUP loader to decrease your chances of being injured or damaging your board before you reach the water.

Getting Your SUP Or Surfboard To The Water With Ease

Once you’ve got your own SUP board, you’ll have the freedom to take it out to the water whenever you’d like. That’s why getting a sturdy, reliable form of transportation is essential, especially if you need space in your car for clothing, backpacks and accessories.
