I had a jeep and sold it and now i own a 2010 Mitusbishi Lancer.. Just curious if anyone knows a good Roof Rack that has surf accessories thatll be suitable for carrying a longboard & also fits my car =) Im not trying to burn a hole in my pocket either.

Hey Now! I am a longtime user of Yakima rack systems but they are expensive. I was just down in Cocoa Beach at Ron Jon and saw that they have several soft rack systems ranging from about $40. to $60. If you aren't travelling far with your longboard these would work fine and are easy to install and remove,... Bear

Hey I suggest investing in some Thule or Yakima tracks. I mean if you're going to get serious about it might as well invest in something that will allow you to carry your boards securely. It's a step price tag but one in a while you can find some second hand pretty cheap.
