I concur with all you guys. I don't think, even if I was traveling a short distance, that I'd leave them in the racks. You never know what could happen, and like JB said, these cost a fair amount of money, and I would hate to see my boards bouncing down the road behind me...

Never on the racks for me. I put this together last year and it works great, although I replaced the MDF (not water friendly) with 1 x 12.

I put everything that can fall or blow out of the boat in my rig. I told someone last year that the value of their boat wouldn't pay for attorney fees if one of those boards came off and hurt someone.

McMoomba, I think I remember pics of that setup from last year. Way too cool. I think I resolved to get more organized after seeing that. Well, I have a list of things I'm going to do to to organize better-- where'd I put that list anyway?

I only ever travel with wakeskates and they are always tucked into my gunwales.....I actually think it looks pretty poserish when you see people driving down the road with gear in the racks. Just my opinion.

Thats a very good idea, THANKS!
The reason I ask is a local dealer was asking why I kept the boards on the floor of the boat while I was pulling it. He told me it was better to put them in the racks because thats what they were for. I asked about them flying out of the racks and he said they stay there while driving on the water.
Thanks again !!

We all have bags for ours then they sit in the boat nicely. My bag holds mine and my wife's board. I can't really see having them in there for longer than the ride from the camp site to the boat ramp. On the water there are no rocks flying around or passing trucks.

anybody else see the mybusters episode where they tossed a soda bottle, or a fountain drink? thru a oncoming car's windshield--just think what a board could do.
