Review on INA446 Surf-Wind-Long Board Locking Roof Carrier with Pads - Securely Holds (1) Kayak, (1) Canoe, or (2) SUP/Wind/Surf-Boards by Carlos Massey

I have a feeling there is nothing that will make you lose the surfboard attached to this mount in your car. It's incredibly easy to use. My only advice would be that if you're using this with an SUV, the convenience is offset by the fact that you can get onto the roof to hook the cables from side to side. You might want to buy a step stool for easier access to your roof to connect wires from one side to I-don't-how-I-things-on-the-other. - the side of this rack. Inno advises against leaving the rubber pads on when there is no board on the roof, but I find leaving the pads on when tensioning the cables actually makes the subsequent ride quieter. Regardless, this stand made my task of learning to surf a lot easier and well worth the price.
