New to SUP and totally loving it! However transporting my board is a bit of a worry (an 11.6 Surftech Balboa) and I'm hoping for some safety tips from experienced SUP'ers.
There's quite a bit of overhang from the front of the roof racks and on my first trip down the motorway there was quite a bit of movement, even the though board was firmly tied down. I had the board nose forward and it was vibrating up and down - about a couple of inches both ways. I was going around 100 km's so decided to slow down cos it was freaking me out! I'm concerned that the wind will lever upwards over the windshield and that the front of the board will break and snap off.
A few people have suggested putting the tail facing forward and move it back slightly so there is not too much forward overhang, but I really have no idea what the safest method is.
Here's a couple of pic's showing how I've been transporting it so far, although I initially had the nose forward with a little more overhang.
