For the surfers

[thesurfervanbeach]

This is my surf setup for summer.
Just wanted to show this that you can put your boards on the side of the van.
So you can still park on beach parkings
(roof rails are off now)
And yes I will put them in a boardbagg.

Looks good. How is the bottom of the bracket attached?

With a magnit.
No drilling and strong enough

Do you wanna borrow my 9,6 single fin. See if you can decapitate anyone…

Is it just me but those fins protruding look like an accident waiting to happen.
Our local rag had a picture last week of someone prosecuted for having a fence post sticking out the passenger window, it started in the boot but was a fraction too long to fit inside, it didn’t stick out any further than the door mirror but was deemed dangerous.

Oke i dont see the danger part, boards are tied up so nothing can fly away.
The boards dont stick out of the side mirror.



maybe i dont understand what you mean

Those magnets must be really strong, have you tried them at motorway speeds yet…?

Yes, i did yesterday and no sound noticeable.
Boards stay in place nothing moved.
But if i will put them in a boardbag it will take more wind for sure

It’s a nice idea.
Such a pain sticking boards on the roof.
Always like the way the old Westfalia’s had them on the side of the hardtops…

Looks ok in that picture - in the original one it looked like the fins are sticking out as the widest part of the van.

This looks great. Where did you get the brackets?

I thought the advantage of a 6.1 Beach was that you could put items like these inside by removing the side storage boxes.

This looks great! Thanks for posting the bracket but where did you get the bit that actually holds the surfboard and how does it attach? Would be great to see a photo without the boards if you have time.

Thanks,

Frances

Looks good but I personally wouldn't risk boards in that position. They must more vulnerable to damage, especially if not in board bags.
