Bring Your Boards to the Water, Without Load Straps

Stand-Up Paddle Board Carrier

LockRack's surfboard carrier has a simple design that works with the shape of your boards to firmly them it in the carrier. With most surfboard carriers, tying down your boards can be a hassle because of shifting side straps. LockRack's design simplifies that process with its padded ratcheting arms. The arms close in tight on the tapered ends of your boards, securing it on your crossbars without the need for load straps.

This carrier provides a secure rooftop transportation system for your boars to and from the water. Once your surfboards are loaded, push the arms in until they click into place, securing your boards to your vehicle.

Ratchet Arms

When your LockRack is not in use, you don't need to uninstall the carrier from your roof. Just remove the arms, rotate them 90 degrees, then reinsert them so that they lay parallel with the roof of your vehicle. This will reduce wind noise and give you more clearance when parking in your garage.

Universal Installation

This LockRack carrier can be installed in the top channels of your crossbar or with the provided adapters. The adapters clamp around most crossbars.

To install the carrier with the adapters, set the carrier on top of your crossbars with the top portion of the adapter clamp already attached to the carrier base. Then hold the bottom portion of the clamp under your crossbar and tighten the clamps down with the included hardware and tool.

Built-In Security
Ratchet Arms

LockRack carriers have security built-in with locks in the base of the carrier, securing the ratcheting arms. Once you've locked your boards or boat in the carrier by pushing the arms tight against your watercraft, the arms will stay locked until you remove them with a key.

Replacement Key Number

This carrier comes with 4 identical keys. Once the arms are locked in place, insert a key into the locking mechanism in the carrier base. Rotate the key to unlock and release the ratcheting arms. If you ever need a replacement key (sold separately) you'll need to know your original key number. This number is not located anywhere on the carrier so be sure to make note of the numbers printed on the inside of the original set of keys.

Best rack for surfboard. Well made. Fastest, simplest way to load a board. So simple and fast and a degree of security. I have a different style rack that also locks but is just thin cables. I don’t worry leaving my board on here for a brief moment away. It would take more than wire cutters to break it.

Extremely secure, safe and lockable rack that avoids the cinching and stress of traditional straps. Easy to install. Fantastic service and communication from etrailer. Highly recommended.

Does Lockrack Surfboard Rack Come with Clamp-On Mounting Hardware
We do! The 13-3/4" Wide Lockrack Surfboard Rack is available both with channel mounts or with clamping style mounts like you mentioned needing: - Clamp Style Mounts # LR97VR - Channel Mounts # LR59FR I really like this style of carrier as well since it makes loading and unloading your gear much faster than managing a strap system. Happy surfing!

Can the Lockrack Surfboard Rack Be Used to Carry a Short Kayak
The Lockrack Surfboard Rack # LR97VR is only tall enough for a surfboard. If you want to use this same carrier for your kayak then you need to swap out the shorter arms for the Long Arm Set # LR99FR. The short arms might be able to technically wedge against the kayak, but they won't be tall enough to properly secure your boat.

Is the Lock On the Lockrack Surfboard Rack Tamper Proof
The lock on the Lockrack Surfboard Rack # LR97VR is pretty tamper proof. The keys that come with the Lockrack are unique to Lockrack's locking system so someone with a screwdriver or even a set of needle nose pliers wouldn't be able to manipulate the lock, they'd need the key. I didn't see any videos with a set of green arms so I'm not quite sure what to make of that, but I will say their arms on on their products are black and silver. If you do fine a set of colored arms out there, then...

Recommendation for 2 Surfboard Carrier on a 2024 Ford Expedition
Hey Katelyn, thanks for reaching out! I recommend picking up the Lockrack Surfboard Rack # LR97VR which can hold 1-2 surfboards and easily holds the boards with the adjustable arms. The best part about this rack is that the arms secure the boards well enough that no additional anchors (like front and rear tie downs) are needed! I have heard of people still securing at least the front of the boards though to help keep the wind from lifting up on the board too much. If you don't already...

Looking For Surfboard Carrier That Fits Prinsu 100 Series Roof Rack For Toyota Landcruiser
Hello Charles. It looks like the Prinsu rack uses a 2" wide by 1" tall crossbar, so you can use a surfboard carrier that clamps to the crossbars, just like a standard roof rack. For that I recommend the LockRack Surfboard Carrier # LR97VR. This comes with universal clamps that can attach directly to the crossbars on your Prinsu rack. The LockRack carriers are great because they are easy to load and you do not have to deal with any straps.

Best Surfboard Carrier For the 2020 Acura TLX Sedan
Juliane, it's nice to hear from you. Personally, I think the LockRack surfboard carrier part # LR97VR is a great option to carry your surfboard. We we were able to put one of these on my roof rack one day and it was super user intuitive. The arms basically lock around the shape of your surf board so it's nice and secure. If you don't already have a roof rack on your Acura, you will need Inno Aero Roof Rack for Naked Roofs part # IN55NR.

How Wide Can LockRack part # LR97VR Expand To
Hey Bill, So the LockRack part # LR97VR that you referenced can actually expand out to 28 inches so your boards could work as long as they are less wide than that.

T-Bolt Sizing For The LockRack Surfboard Carrier # LR97VR
Hey Liz, The LockRack Surfboard Carrier # LR97VR comes with T-bolts that are 6mm x 1.00 x 1.5". The square head of the bolt is approximately 13/16" wide x 1" long x 1/8" thick. If the square head of the bolt is too large you can trim it down to fit the channel of your roof rack.
