Dakine Aero Surfboard Rack Pads

No, these pads are specifically engineered for flat-style crossbars. They won't provide a secure fit on round or square bars, so you should look for a different style if your rack system uses those shapes.

Yes, the aerodynamic design is specifically shaped to minimize wind drag. While you might still hear some airflow at high speeds, these pads significantly cut down on the loud whistling often caused by standard, blocky rack pads.

Yes, the 28-inch length provides a stable, cushioned surface suitable for most stand-up paddleboards and longboards. It offers enough width to distribute the pressure across the board's hull, preventing dings or pressure dents during transport.

These pads wrap around your existing flat crossbars and secure with a heavy-duty hook-and-loop closure. This design allows you to easily install or remove them whenever you aren't transporting your boards.

The primary purpose of these pads is to act as a buffer between your board and the rack, but they also help prevent your board from making direct contact with your vehicle's roof. However, always ensure your boards are strapped down tightly to prevent shifting during transit.
