Soft racks with rain-gutter or roof-lip attachment, $10 Da Right Style board bag, $20 Bag has safely transported 3 boards to CR and Peru with glass-on fins, could probably do 4 potato chips with the fins out, but basically a double-board bag with plenty of room for extra padding. I've always protected rails w/ air-conditioning foam, and decks with a foam exercise/yoga mat. A bit awkward though, as the openings are on the ends. One compartment on one end, other compartment opens on the other end. Kind of a pain sliding in a waxy board or boards with a rubber nose guard. Can also serve as a sleeping bag.

I'm interested in the rack for a trip. Do they work on most rental cars ------------------------- Replace turf grass with native plants that don't need irrigation and synthetic fertilizers or chemicals that can go into our waterways and ocean |

Sorry to say, but I don't know! It's been a long time since I've used them, and I vaguely only remember using them on cars with rain gutters, which a lot of newer cars don't have.
I'll attach a close-up picture if that helps. If the rain-gutter clips don't work, you could just let out a couple extra inches, tuck the slack inside the cab above the car doors, and them tie them together inside the car with a cheap tie-down. Edit: Added pics of fit on a 2009 Scion and 2013 VW. Looks like they'd work, but you might want to add a shred of cloth or electrical tape or something soft to avoid scratching the car. You could also add another tie-down inside the car as described above for safety. Even though it's only 1 board wide, we managed to stack about 3 bags (7 boards) on top of a Nissan Sunny. And I might trade for $10 in credit toward that recumbent bike if you still have it. Edited: 11/28/2015 at 07:40 PM by RegularJoe
