**Ranked #1 in wiki 2017 Best Surfboard Car Racks category**
NOTHING HOLDS BOARDS TO CAR BETTER THAN LOCKDOWN!
PROTECTION: 1″ (25mm) foam padding provides protective insulation between surfboards and vehicle roof. Softrack interior is lined with soft neoprene cushioning for max surfboard protection.
SURFBOARD RAIL PROTECTION: When transporting up to 3 shortboards (or 1 longboard), the 1″ foam padding reaches around surfboard rails – eliminating contact between strap and surfboard rail, a revolutionary way of reducing rail damage.
COMPATIBILITY: Lockdown Racks are compatible with bare roofed vehicles (ie nothing at all on the roof) that have either 4 opening doors, or a combination of front doors and two rear opening windows. Also compatible with roofed vehicles fitted with 2x roof rails which run parallel to side of car. Roof rails do NOT need cross bars.
CONSTRUCTION: each 1″ webbing strap is secured by a super strong zinc cast cambuckle (plastic coated) for ultimate tension and safety.
USEABILITY: Lockdown Racks are configured differently than standard soft racks, so first installation may take extra time until familiar. For this reason we recommend you have prior experience of using soft racks. Once familiar, the racks are simple to use with a single tightening point per rack
CAPACITY: 1-4 short surfboards or 1-3 longboards.*see our listing for specialized Lockdown SUP racks with rail protection (search ASIN: B00TDNQYOG). Please note: all softracks can make a humming noise due to windage when driving, however this can be simply alleviated by adding a twist or two to each strap.
**Choose the Best for your Boards and choose LOCKDOWN.** Keep the stoke!!
It’s ok. Does it’s job but I worry. I bought this last year for my SUP. There are some good and some bad aspects. I like that it had the padding so it won’t scratch my roof. I’ve had a pano glass roof and now a regular roof and it hasn’t scratch either of them. I’ve carried up to two boards on it and have arrived with them both. Once you figure out how to put it on it’s not that hard. Kinda time consuming because you have to keep running back and forth to each side of the car. Much easier with two people. I don’t like that it’s…
Excellent value and works perfectly keeping board secure. Was about to buy the whole yakima roof rack system and then read about how ppl steal them and it damages the roof of car. This rack was somewhat difficult to figure out at first because the instructions were not great (the reviews from other ppl and YouTube video helped tremendously). It holds down the board very solid and does not loosen while driving. It takes a couple minutes to put up and take down every time you use it but it will get your board to your destination safely. The service…
The funny thing is that I actually had the same one … The funny thing is that I actually had the same one that I bought 4 years ago and bought it again. LOL The rack holds the boards really well. Make sure to have it tight, recheck your tension before you head out. If you hear a weird sound, check to see if it is not loose. Mine got loose and the boards were on a 45 degree angle. It didn’t fall but did not look safe at all. Put the car on the side and re tightened it, no more problem. Only thing that I can advise the people who cares about the car…
