Recommended Surfboard Carrier for a Truck Bed Camper

Question:

I am looking for a solution to carry a surfboard on the side of my truck camper and this looked promising. I have standard corner jack brackets. Would this work? I’m hoping to connect the carrier system directly to the jack brackets. If not, do you have a part for sale that could work? I’ve attached a photo of my jack brackets.

Thanks for the picture Brian! I am sorry though the Malone SUP Storage Rack item # MPG384 isn't going to work. Those are designed to be hung on the wall. They're not rated to be bolted to the side of your camper and driven down the highway. Those welds attaching the mounting brackets to the j-hooks aren't going to stand up to highway speeds and vibrations.

I do not have a solution for you as far as a surfboard carrier that would attach to the side of your camper. Our options will all be roof racks like item # 298-BX1806 which would be quite the climb for a truck camper. These attach with suction cups like glass glazers use to the top of your camper.
