These soft foam pads with included tie-down straps let you safely transport a stand-up paddleboard, surfboard, or other gear on your roof rack crossbars. Pads simply wrap around crossbars and secure with Velcro closures.
Features:
Specs:
These pads wrap around most crossbars to provide a resting place for your surfboard, stand-up paddleboard (SUP), or other gear during transport. And tie-downs let you secure your gear to your roof rack.
Wrap the pads around your crossbars and secure them with the Velcro closure strips.
Adjust the closures so that the pads are snug and won't slide on your crossbars. Load your gear on top of the pads.
To secure your gear to your roof rack, thread the tie-down straps beneath the pads and secure them on top of your boards with the cam buckles. Integrated sleeves cover the buckles and protect your board and vehicle from getting scratched, and Velcro strap keepers hold the ends of the straps so they won't flap in the wind.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Rhino-Rack stand up paddle board and surf board pads with tie-downs. Part number RRRWP04. The Rhino-Rack pads let you safely transport your stand up paddle board or surf board on the roof of your vehicle. The EVA foam pads simply wrap around your crossbars and secure with hook and loop fasteners. It includes 2 tie downs with rubber coated cam buckles to help secure your gear to your roof rack and it won't scratch the finish. The pads themselves are made from a UV resistant polyester canvas. They measure 27 1/2 inches by 2 inches up from the top of the bar. So you can ensure they're going to have excellent padding from the roof rack to the paddle board.
These will fit round, square, elliptical, and arrow bars. Now we'll be going over some of the features to go ahead and show you how to get it installed. It's going to come with 2 pads and 2 straps. To get this installed we can take our pad, I've already got the rear one installed as you can see up here. Let's go ahead and do the front one together.
The foam pad itself has flaps on the other side, secured by hook and loop. Let's go ahead and undo that. Once we've got it opened up, we'll have both flaps out like this. Set it right on top of our roof. We're going to bring the flaps underneath and then bring the other side round overlapping.
We'll just work our way down making sure that it's nice and secure. It's a fairly simple installation and as you can see we've got it. Now that we've got both pads installed, let's go ahead and load up the stand up paddle board. We'll bring the board up, we're going to scoot it along the pads, get it nice and centered up, making sure that the whole board is on the pad. That way, when you go to tie it down, it's got a nice secure fit. Also want to make sure that the board is not hanging off the end of the vehicle. Now we can go ahead and grab our included Rhino-Rack straps.
I just want to point out real quick, they've got a nice hook and loop strap to help tidy up the strap when it's not in use. Let's set one aside for now and let's strep down our paddle board. We'll go ahead and undo our hook and loop, we'll unwind the strap. I'm going to set the rubber cam buckle end right on top of my paddle board and throw the strap over. We'll come over to the other side, we'll grab our strap. We're just going to put it underneath the crossbar, make sure we keep it as close to the paddle board as possible as you see here. I'm going to toss it right back over. Then over here go right underneath the crossbar keeping it as close to the paddle board as possible. I grab the strap then I come up through the cam buckle, then I'm going to pull that nice and tight. Then I'll grab my excess strap, going to tidy it up, grab my hook and loop strap and bunch that together just like that. Now we can grab our second strap and secure the back portion of our board. For excessively long paddle boards, it is recommended that you tie down the front and rear ends. Rhino-Rack makes straps for this purpose, which is part number RRRBAS. That'll do it for the Rhino-Rack stand up paddle board and surf board pads with tie downs. Part number RRRWP04.
