Having difficulty putting your board on your rooftop or car roof rack?  Here are a few tips on getting your board to the beach and back.


SINGLE BOARD

If you only have one board and IF you're driving short distances, this is easy.

1// Drop the locking end under the bar and throw the strap across the front to the other side.

2// Pull strap back around the rear and up around the other side.

3// Next, pull strap forward to the front of roof, lock into strap lock, and pull tightly.

4// Throw excess strap back into car and close door.

DOUBLE BOARD

The easiest and safest way to transport two or three boards is to double strap them, especially when driving on the freeway.

1// Using the bar already set into vehicle, allow approxiamately 10 inches of space between the bar and boards.  Throw strap over the roof, parallel to the opposite side.

2// Loop under the side bar and throw back over.

3// Strap down and keep strap excess firmly secured in vehicle door.  Repeat the same on the back strap and you'll be reasonably safe.  If you are not completely confident, run straps completely inside the vehicle.
