Frequently Asked Questions

The DORSAL Surfboard Car Soft Racks works on nearly any vehicle with a solid roof—no crossbars needed. Straps thread through your doors and cinch over the roof. SUVs, sedans, trucks, hatchbacks—all good. Use our compatibility checker below to confirm your specific vehicle.

Load your board fins-up (or fins-back depending on carrier style) and center it on the DORSAL Surfboard Car Soft Racks. Use the included straps to cinch it down tight. Give each strap a firm tug—no play means a safe ride. Add a nose/tail line on highway trips for extra peace of mind.

The DORSAL Surfboard Car Soft Racks holds up to 2 boards at once. Stack them with wax sides together (or use a board sock between them) to prevent ding damage. Total weight limit is 40.0 lbs—factor that for heavier longboards.

The DORSAL Surfboard Car Soft Racks uses neoprene to cradle your board without pressure points. The pads are wax-resistant so they won't bond to your board. Avoid over-tightening straps—snug is enough. Dings come from loading mistakes, not the carrier itself.

Yes—the DORSAL Surfboard Car Soft Racks is rated for up to 80 mph when properly loaded and strapped. Check straps at every fuel stop on long drives. Wind can lift a loose board off your roof at highway speed, which is dangerous and expensive. Nose and tail tie-downs add serious insurance.

Yes—the DORSAL Surfboard Car Soft Racks handles SUPs and surfboards interchangeably. SUPs are wider and heavier, so center them carefully and verify you're within the 40.0-lb weight limit. Same strapping method applies. Great versatile option if you ride both.
