Surfing Waves

It's the board or the car and no it doesn't fit a roof rack

I would say time to get a different car. Well you can always run straps through the door and over the roof. If there is a will there is a way

You can get a Carver and a tow line

You need to expand your car quiver.

Looks like a Nissan Fairlady Z. You should be able to layback the passenger seat, pass the board thru the passenger door, nose first deck down, slide the nose over the back seat and rest the tail where your feet would be. Need to remove the fins first and maybe the seat head rests. Let the "Passenger" sits taxi style in the back seat.

Just get a shortboard, all transport problems solved

Jaffa has one of them, or a similar design

Yakima makes a roof rack for the 350z.

One of them what? The video above your post does not work?
I think you might mean a Pope Bisect???

C'mon, Luis! Are you trying to wind us up? I know you won't quit.

If they're going to make a sectional surfboard, I think they should at least add an internal compartment for sun block and surf wax.

Just what we need a a leaking sun block on the deck, adding slide to glide and a dash of splash!

BTW Google the effects of sunblock on coral reefs!

Thanks for the tip, Jaffa. I had no idea. I came across this advice:

What can you do to help?

Global warming, pollution, and other human activities pose additional and significant threats to the survival of coral reefs. However, the results of these studies should be taken seriously and if you plan to swim, scuba dive, or snorkel in the tropical ocean near coral reefs you should use a coral reef safe sunscreen. How can you tell if a sunscreen is safe for coral reefs?

Look at the active and inactive ingredients on your sunscreen label. Do not use a sunscreen that contains oxybenzone or the other ingredients listed above that are proven to harm coral.

Reef safe claims on sunscreen labels are unregulated and therefore potentially meaningless. You really have to look at the ingredients and judge for yourself.

Use a water resistant sunscreen which will be more likely to stay on your skin and out of the water. Water resistant claims are regulated by the FDA. Learn more about water resistant sunscreens.

Use a sunscreen that has been tested biodegradable. This claim is under-regulated so you may need to contact the company to verify their claim. This ensures that the product will break down in the environment. Learn more about biodegradable sunscreens.

Use common sense before even reaching for a sunscreen. Cover yourself with a hat and shirt (or a rash guard in the water), and seek shade during peak sun hours.

Share this information with your friends!

The US National Park Service, PADI (the Professional Association of Underwater Instructors), and numerous eco-tour operators (including coral reef parks in Mexico) recommend that you avoid sunscreens with oxybenzone and use only mineral based sunscreens to help protect coral reefs.

I didn't know that sunblock was a threat to reef
We don't have reef where I live but I'll sure buy biodegradable screen when traveling

Wkkk is right, it's a Nissan FairLady Z. I'm surprised that you know it, it's not very common in UK but I guess very common in Japan.

I just sold my surf car so I don't have a surf car anymore. Not that I want to give up surfing, but the surf is too inconsistent on the East Coast of UK. Instead of splashing water with a surf board, I can now splash water with my car.

I've seen photos of it with softracks and I'm definitely not going to do that.

Now that brexit is confirmed, I just need to wait till we see if Trump gets elected. If not then I'm emigrating to the US.

I'm staying out of this one (says the guy with advanced education and professional licenses in science and engineering).

Its known as a 350Z / 370Z in Australia. Not too uncommon; I doubt many Australians would buy a car called a 'fairlady' to be honest. More is the pity for our narrow minded attitudes, I suspect. But call it a number and a letter, like 370Z, and no problems. Just keep it to 3 numbers; once you get to 3 numbers (like the Peugeot 4008) and its way too confusing.

It doesnt have enough flat roof for any surfboard I imagine.

We even call a brand of beer XXXX! Because some Aussies can't spell beer!
