HyperRyd Overhead Racks

[BigAbe75]

Has anyone seen these in person? @J-RAD sent me this link awhile back. But, neither of us have ponied up the $ to try it out. I’m sure curious if it would work on our boats. I’d love to figure out some solution to storing one or 2 more boards for this season.

Ouch!!! $5bills. Now I see why you haven’t gotten one. Maybe The free shipping will get someone to bite???

@jcyamahariders wife is talking to them a little. Sounds like we could fit one of their racks between our tower speakers (not very convenient). Or, they offer a side mount - which would block a fair bit of side visibility. So, as cool as they look, I’m not sure that’s going to be a viable solution for us.

I’d love to be able to hang a couple boards from my bimini, instead of the tower itself.

@BigAbe75 what do you have to hold your boards now??

@BigAbe75 what do you have to hold your boards now??

I have the Yamaha racks that came with the boat. They’re great, but they are Wake/Surf racks. So, one small slot and one larger. So far, all we have is surf boards, so I have 2 slots that are essentially unusable.

right now, we haul the following every outing:
- my surf board (big boy) (Chaos Ringer XXL)
- wife and oldest daughter surf board (5’0 Fish)
- Zup board
- 7yr son surf (Connelly Dash - actually fits in a wakeboard slot)
- occasionally our Slingshot Coaster (or buddy brings his)
- and possibly a kids wakeboard this season as the 7yr old got a taste last year and wants some more this year. Lol

and of course the 3 man tube and 10x6 island.

Yeah, that’s a few. Not sure what the best route to go is??? I’ve got an extra wakeboard rack I thought might work for you but don't think that’s what you need & the wife thinks we need to keep it. I guess one board on each side of the boat to balance it out. ?‍

So, really... we just need a home for the Zup board and occasionally a 3rd surf board if we have a guest (until either the wife or daughter progress beyond the Fish - at which point we could have 4 riders and 4 boards until the other catches up... I expect that to happen this season).

Thanks for the almost offer, lol! Always listen to the wife.

Well, that helps... some. Lol

I’m going to try the new @jcyamaharider and @jcyamahariders wife method first, this year, and go from there. Here’s the product from an evening brainstorming session. (Wish I could have been there. )

Looks promising!

So there design was intriguing with one mounting point on the wake tower but our interior is not as deep as a wake boat. So if we used theirs you would hit your head on your board. So with simple noodles and a strap we could hang boards from our bimini. These large bimini frames you could hang 2 in the back and one easily in the front horizontally. So on the 2019's and newer you have the cut out for the sun roof. So the bars are not the same as our 2017. You would need to mount them in more of the cure of the bimini. A piece could be made to fit the curve but be flat on the opposite side to hold the board.

I’m planning to go get my boat in the next week or two, so I can start a couple projects. Experimenting with this will be one of them. I know I have at least the Zup board that I want to hang and possibly mine.
