Aero-profile crossbar mount cuts drag while carrying 2 boards
Last reviewed: March 2026
The Creatures of Leisure Aero Rax is a 1.5 lb aluminum hard-mount carrier that holds up to 2 surfboards on your existing crossbars. Its aerodynamic profile reduces drag and wind noise at highway speeds. Compatible with longboards and shortboards with fins on.

Why this product
Creatures of Leisure built the Aero Rax for surfers who already have crossbars and want a clean, low-drag carry. The aluminum construction keeps weight down and the aero shape means less whistling on the highway. A proper upgrade from bare crossbar pads.
