Removable surfboard and SUP roof rack
Get to the swell first and keep the sand and salt out of your car. Three boards or two SUPs, straps built in, no roof rails needed.
A surfboard rack for cars with no rack

Removable Surf Rack Attachment questions
How long does the suction last?
Each vacuum cup goes through a 48 hour suction test from our manufacturer, plus more testing once we receive it. When driving, check the cups every time you stop for gas or a break. Done that way, even a cross country move (one customer has done it) is no issue. Keeping the cups and the car surface clean goes a long way.
How strong are the vacuum cups?
The cups are industrial grade, rated about 200 lb of vertical and lateral grip each. Eight cups give over 1600 lb of combined pull strength, far more than anyone will need, and the rubber is gentle on your roof and paint without leaving marks.
How fast can I drive with the rack?
We cannot legally endorse going over posted speed limits. We have driven the rack far above the limit (100+ MPH) on a closed course for testing, and it held up.
Do I need a base unit with every attachment?
Yes, every attachment needs a STAG Base Unit, and you only need one. The bundles include a base unit. Buy a second base only if you want to use attachments on two cars at once.
Will there be more attachments, like kayak and cargo?
We are working on them and will release them as we have the bandwidth. The base unit works with all future attachments, so you do not need to wait if you like a current one.
