If you have the OEM Surboard rack please post a picture. The Catalog doesn't do it for me and I need a bigger better picture

 

If you have the Roof Rack Base, just use pads and straps.

 

Yes Yes But that is not what I am asking I would like to see some other pics so I get an idea of what it looks like

 

does anyone put their surfboards inside their car?

 

I have 2 9ft boards they wouldn't even come close to fitting. So I take no one with a Mini surfs?

 

So no one here has pics of the OEM Mini surfracks

 

Not mine, but searched, does this work?

porthos, thanks for asking the question. I've often wondered about that. Am fortunate enough to have an Isuzu Troper for surfing. Often place two 9ft boards inside or, sometimes, on Yakima rack. But, have wondered what to do if I needed to surf, but wife has Trooper

coreygo, thanks for posting the link to the red MINI and red surfboard photo.

 

Google shows a lot of kayaks but no surfboards

 

The pic of the red mini has the set-up I suggested, pads and straps. which is what I use. The reason I didn't get the MINI Surfboard rack is because it is a $100 pad and stap set-up. I surf all the time, just don't take pics of it as it is not that remarkable..

 

Dude seriously. Yes that is what I did but I wanted to see what the Oem racks look like to see if they are a little more stable then the pads and straps.

 

Best of luck to you, motor on...

 

Yah I've always been under the impression (solely based on the small photos I can find) that they're actually different than the usual foam pad tube + tether combination. They've always appeared to be pliable clamps that make contact with the surfboard only on the rails and then have a tether mechanism to secure them.

I've been intrigued and would love to see a picture. I was never really a fan of the foam tube method, but I need to find something before I move back to the coast this summer.

 

Alright, so here's what I could find on flickr. I believe (but am not certain) that these are the OEM surf racks

Second gen

 

Bingo!!!!!

 

Ya I am kinda glad that I did the foamies and straps looks cheaper in price than the MINI one

 

Here you go:
EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize you were looking for the actual OEM Surfboard racks. Forgot they make that!

 

Yeah, I've been wondering what the MINI surf rack looks like myself. I'm surprised there aren't more detailed pix. Anybody have pix of longboards on top of their MINI? I ride a 9'4" board and just wondering what it would look like.

 

I will get pics of my 9'0" and 9'2" In a lil but the post above you looks about right

 

Anyone have any idea what the tether mechanism is like on the OEM rack?

The one thing I don't like about the usual pad method is the big clunky metal clasp being up there on the roof near the paint along with the leftover tether that flaps around in the breeze.

 

Yup that's a 9'0" and a 8'9"
