weve used soft racks before and they worked fine but at speed the D ring started to come apart on the journey back but it was fine so we bought a hard rack type thing now

I've asked this before. I guess it's to keep those pesky female surfboards from reproducing and popping out pop outs. :lol:

BTW you can spay cats or dogs, as long as they're female.
