Surf board rack and ideas for transporting

[Klover]

I added a surf/wake board rack in our garage but wondering what you guys do with your boards during transport/trailing?
I’ve left them on the rack (as the new board racks on our 255XD seem to hold them well), but I don’t really want to do that on long hauls. Other than putting them in the back of the truck with towels/blankets wrapped around them, any ideas?

I don't have much experience with water sports, but is your goal to keep them from scratching during transportation?

Yes. there's not room in any of the compartments of the boat so didn't know if anyone had DYI holders or things they've used to keep the boards safe and secure in the boat during transport/trailering especially since we haven't rec'd our cover yet (like everyone else). Especially since have a Powell trip planned end of July needed some ideas on the best way to transport them.

I haven't seen anything like that, but I will let you know if I do. Interesting how that ski locker isn't big enough.

What brand is the rack and where did you pick it up at.

I have a bag for my wake board and surfboard I haul them in the truck.

I have left both wakeboards on the deck of the covered boat during long transports if needed. Lay them on their sides so they sit on edge & boots, no issues with them moving around or damage.

We use Hyperlite wakesurf bags and Slingshot wakesurf sleeves for carrying/transit. At the end of the season they're wiped down and put back into their bags/sleeves and into original shipping boxes to be placed in the garage for storage until the following season. We do the same for our wakeboards.

Not answering your question but this rack is awesome. I have one as well and highly recommended. Still looking for that great storage idea as well for transporting to the lake. I generally put the boards in socks and put life jackets on the ends, not ideal but not sure what else to do.

Something similar to what @four_the_kids uses I have these for transporting boards to/from the lake in the back of the pickup.

Board SOCKS

MISSION Boat Gear's low profile board socks help protect your wakesurfing, wakeboarding, or kiteboarding boards from dings, scratches, and UV exposure when out on the water — premium knitted surf sock with drawstring closure.

Yep, that’s what I got.

Somewhere here on the forum is a diy rack that someone made out of pvc pipe and covered with pool noodles for cushioning. They set it on the floor of the boat (while trailering) and the boards sit on their sides in slots. I thought it was pretty slick and if I add more boards to our collection, I'm going to build one myself.

I lay them in the boat in sleeping bags. I also tow with the boat cover on.

I haven't got a solution, but I have had a wake board and a surf board fly out of the boat on the free way. I now keep them in the car.
