okay... basically my moms friend wants to take me to the beach... she drives a volkswagen bug, the little cars. i have tie down straps but would it be to chancy to try and tie down a surf board on the top?

if not how would i do it/...

thanks

I have to admit i have no idea if it would work or not...all the advice i can give is dont try and gaffa tape your board to the roof...it seems like a fesible idea at the time but it really doesnt work!

yeh thats what sucks... i dont think it is doable

we could take my moms explorer which has racks on it already, but i doubt she will let us.. heh

hmmm always a pain in the ass when that happens...how big is your board, and how far away is the break you want to surf?

by **Keith** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 9:23 pm

25 miles away

the board is 6' 1"

thats a 2 door right? do the rear quarter windows open? if so you can use a soft rack, just pass the back strap through the back windows

Does it fit in the car...accross the back seats...you sit behind the driver/board sits in front seat w/ seat reclined...board fits in truck? That's a small board...it's gotta fit right.

I don't know about strapping it on top. The roof is kinda dome shaped right?

If it doesnt fit, just hold it out the window and drive slowly
