Amazon-dominant brand for surf and SUP rack pads and universal carriers. Known for Aero rack pads at entry-level pricing.
DORSAL is a budget surf and paddleboard accessory brand. They make soft roof racks (the kind that go directly on the roof of any car, strap through doors), SUP leashes, surfboard socks, and board bags. Everything is mid-tier-to-budget pricing.
The DORSAL Aero Rack is their most-recognized product — a universal soft roof rack pair for under $50. It's the go-to recommendation for someone who rented a car on vacation and needs to transport a surfboard for a week.
Build quality is fine for occasional use. Not the rack you buy for a weekly commute to the beach, but perfect for an airport rental.
Did you know?
DORSAL's soft-rack system is named after the dorsal fin of a shark — the founder was a Florida surfer who designed the racks specifically to fit on rental economy cars at tourist-town airports.
