I've entered the world of windsurf trailers and I'm trying to work out the best way to stop the boards sliding around on the racks. The racks are covered with a type of rubber which should be fairly grippy for the boards. I don't really want to install permanent vertical bars or dividers because these racks will be removed and adjusted quite a bit.

Idea 1. Make wooden blocks with rail shapes cut out of them. These would be held to the wooden racks with some heavy duty clips. There would be two of these to secure the front of the board and two at the back. To take a board out all I would need to do is remove one and the board should come out nicely.

Idea 2. Use something like occy straps to go rap around the board between the front and back footstraps. Could be a bit fiddly when securing the front of the board.

Any suggestions or ideas, what works, what doesn't?
Thanks

There will be more shelves to come. I though I would include some pics to give you an idea of what I was on about.

I am starting to think about another vehicle other than my current one - Lancer sedan....

I noticed down Inverloch an abundance of vans - how do most wsurfers get their gear to the bay/beach?

I find it annoying having to strap the board on the roof every weekend, and even more so when I am staying away overnight and have no where to stash the board when going to cafes, pubs or whatever with the gf... and you have to think about parking the car near a viewing point in the cafe etc....

You guys have a second car as well, or happily roll with your van during the week?

What's your wheels? Kombi's? Express'? and how do you find it?

Am seriously considering a van...
