Surfing Waves

Is this an accident waiting to happen?

I'm a surfing newbie and after having a few surfing lessons i think i'm ready to buy a board. The one thing that's stopping me is my car - it's a ford ka so only little and I'm worried that a 7'6" board wouldn't travel on it very well. I have visions of the wind lifting it off the rack a flinging it down the road!

If anyone has any experience with surfboards on diddy cars or suggestions i'd really appreciate it. Cheers!

Me and Brent managed to carry around three boards (one 7' and the other two around the 6' mark) using soft racks on his mazda mx5 i.e a soft top for over a week. As long as you make sure they are tight down you should be fine.

I used O&E soft racks on a Mazda 323 Astina for over 3 years with boards from 6 to over 9 foot with no problems... using same racks now with a Toyota Corolla and 9'6" and still hame no problem. depends on how well you tie them down... take care there will be no problems.
