Great design, not as strong as I was hoping

I have purchased this shelf several times over the years. It's not as strong as I'd like it to be when riding the board. I'm sure it gets worse with a heavier longboard. Keylocks are a little sticky (get stuck inside). Everything else is fine

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Not sure

Ideal for shortboards; not very much for longboards

This is a good product for short boards but I would like to spend the extra money and buy a rack that connects to the front (handlebar) and rear (seat) bike racks my old These guys are much more stable, especially with a 9-10 foot longboard.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • So-so

Great surfboard holder

This makes it easy for my son to carry his surfboard to the beach. I like that the hooks holding the surfboard can be removed if you just surf. It was easy to install on my youngest son's bike but a little more difficult on my older sons so I guess the ease depends on what model of bike you have.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Frequency

Carver bike rack on my Beach Cruiser = perfect!

My wife ordered these for me for our anniversary and they work great. I just strap on my board and go. Assembly was fairly easy and went well with my beach cruiser. She looked at local surf shops and Amazon had the best deal including shipping. Everyone who surfs should love this product! We will definitely buy these again for those who want to cruise to the beach on their bike and not have to worry about parking their car, paying the beach fee etc. WORTH THE MONEY!

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Only available in white

Pretty disappointed with this stand

Pretty disappointed with this stand. It was great to start with, holds my 9 feet well. Within a year the parts were badly rusted and the bridge locks connecting the posts to the posts broke. I find it ok as they are quite small but there are no replacement parts. I had to do a temporary rack repair that cost over $100. Also, the company doesn't seem to be available. You often see these racks online, but they are always purchased from a third party. There is no one point of contact if your…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • There are downsides

instructions are missing. Not as stable as I'd like

A royal hassle to install as the instructions provided are absolute bullshit. However, there are some helpful videos on YouTube. This works if you drive very slowly and avoid bumps. (Not quite what I expect from my teenage son.) My son said he felt his board wasn't safe as it didn't feel very safe. It might not have installed as planned, but who knows, the instructions were so poor. In addition, one of the bungee cords came loose while driving and was damaged. Couldn't figure out how to replace

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Hard to say

Works great even for longboards

I've been using CSR-Max several times a week for the past 6 months. I've used it with boards 7 to 10 feet in length with no problems. I have to say this is one of the best products I have ever bought. It is very easy to install and all fasteners are stainless steel. I installed the basket on the shelf of this product and I have everything I need for my bike ride. A very minor downside is that the shelf on this shelf isn't compatible with the usual way of basket attachment so I had to use some…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Can't remember

Works so far but install could be better

This has worked so far for my heavy 10'6" log for 1 trip but it has a few design changes I'd like to see. Unfortunately, my bike has no attachment points on the rear triangles. I had to use the 4 clamps that came with the mounting hardware and a lot of patience to attach the 4 mounting points to the rack. This probably isn't the best kit for you. Buy if you are not mechanically savvy and your bike does not have pre-existing mounting points for a rack. Due to the design there is a lot of lateral

Pros
  • Annual trial
Cons
  • Updates available

Count me in. best accessory

I am an avid surfer and cyclist/bike mechanic and engineer. I really like this product but it could be improved. BENEFITS - Fits my 9ft 6" longboard, 6ft shortboard and everything else in my quiver. "You can very easily remove your arms and just ride with the luggage rack. The construction is solid and easily attaches to my eyelets on my bike. - Fits many different types of bikes. I mounted it on a 2007 Navora Safari touring bike. - It's very easy for someone to steal their hands from the…

Pros
  • nice packaging
Cons
  • poorly thought out
