Review on Shortboard Bike ๐Ÿ„ Rack by Carver Surfboards by Boss Spangler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

How to look local instantly.

I bought a Carver surfboard bike rack on a whim to take with me on a two week surfing adventure in New Zealand. It really wasn't much of an adventure, with just enough surf to keep us entertained at one of the many breaks on the easy bike ride from my sister's house. Ultimately, this purchase turned out to be the second most important piece of equipment next to the surfboard and wetsuit. And being able to easily and safely transport my surfboard and gear to the beach by bike and without a car was great! It gave me a level of independence and mobility that I had not experienced in the past. And it made me look like a local too! The Carver Surf bike rack has two key features: A single attachment point for the bracket to the seatpost (I didn't even have to rack my brains to unscrew the rusty old nut on the saddle). my borrowed bike); And the overall compactness of this lightweight design (the entire stand easily disassembles and stows in my surfboard bag). Years ago I had a similar set of poorly designed bars that required a point to point setup. The two-point setup was much more difficult to install, more difficult to navigate, and left scratches all over my bike's frame. The Carver Surfboard Bike Rack takes all that hassle away. And all the damage. (Especially if you're riding a rented or rented bike.) As I've been living inland for the past few years and can only travel to surf, I've decided to leave my porter with my sister, assuming she'll be there for me on future visits. After a few days, however, she reported that she had already rearranged the racks on her bike in "about five minutes." I would highly recommend the Carver surf bike rack.
