Customer Rating: Summary: surprisingly good Comment: I didn't expect much out of these racks, but to my surprise they worked extremely well. I used them with both one and two short boards doing freeway driving (at speeds I'd rather not admit to) and this thing worked like a charm. Only once over several hundred miles of driving did one of the straps start to come lose and vibrate. A 30 second retighten and we were back on our way.
A couple of things to note:
1. If you have a wider board, the metal buckles might sit on the rails. Might be a good idea to use a board bag or have some padding you can put between the board and the buckles.
2. I put some anti-slip rug material between the straps and the board. This seemed to keep the straps from vibrating and creating a ruckus. Plus I felt better about the boards not sliding around.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great quick soft racks Comment: These racks work great for the price. Quick to put on and holds boards well. Strap them on tight and you'll get no movement. If you get a loud hum from 1 of the straps just twist it 1 time to make it stop. Customer Rating: Summary: Good product Comment: I've driven probably 3,000 miles with these racks and two longboards on my car. It takes some practice to find the sweet spot for your board and your car, but once you've got the routine down, these racks are rock solid. Like the reviewer before me said, don't buy these if you've got an antenna in the middle of your roof or those seatbelts that automatically slide forward and backwards, like those that were made in the early '90s. Customer Rating: Summary: Great surfboard rack! Comment: This is a great and easy to use surf rack! Drove all over Nicaragua including the mountains with multiple boards. Easy to put boards off and on and no damage to the boards or vehicle.Block Surf Single Surfboard Car Racks Customer Rating: Summary: Dented the roof of my car Comment: I guess this falls under the catagory: You get what you pay for. The rack didn't cost too much. But when I drove over 35 or 40 miles an hour, the front rack lifted up and pushed down on the back rack and left a dent in the center of my roof. My suggestion is don't go cheap unless you have a junker car that you don't mind having a dent in the roof.
Block Surf racks are the industry standard. No rain gutters needed. Racks wrap through vehicle, greatly increasing the security of your boards! Securely carries up to three boards. Comes with convenient carry bag.
