Long board on a short buggy

Hi everybody, I remember a while back there was a thread about mounting a surfboard on a Manx. I just finished this rack over the weekend. Since it?s hot and rains daily here in Florida, I decided to make a rack that works with the hard top. I made them out of Oak and bolted them to the hard top. I just road-tested it to 70 MPH. Nice and solid. I got a lot of thumbs up from people on the road too. Take it easy, Dave

and functional! excellent. theres nothing like sinking on a wave from the holes drilled into a board to mount it to a roof! LOL
how do the straps tighten down to the rack?

The straps wrap around the rack and over the board and have a D-ring setup. They draw up real tight and don?t come loose. Dave

I couldn't resist. Short board on a long buggy. Full of holes. At Daytona Beach. Board would probably sink like a stone. Oh well, at least it looks good. Tom
