Surfboard Straps

To carry your surfboards safely and securely, you need surfboard straps. In order to keep your surfboard from moving about or tumbling off the roof of your car or ute while you're driving, we offer a variety of surfboard straps for roof racks.
To prevent your surfboard from moving around while you're on the road, remember to utilise a quality set of surfboard roof straps. In case you plan on taking your surfboards on the road, we always suggest you look into our selection of lockable surfboard straps. Stopping along the route won't require you to then take your boards off the roof racks and to place them in your car to avoid them being stolen. To prevent damage to the surfboard during transit, surfboard tie down straps for roof racks are used because having a loose surfboard while driving at high speeds can be disastrous for both the surfboard and the cars around you. As an added bonus, a good set of surfboard roof straps will keep your boards safe from the elements including wind, rain, and sun. Damage to your roof racks or car roof can occur if you use elastic straps or low-quality rope to secure your boards.
It is recommended that you transport your surfboards in a protected surfboard bag if you plan on going a significant distance during the warmer months in Australia. Using the straps and a good surfboard bag, you can protect your board from the damaging effects of UV rays. When used in tandem, the straps and bag have the potential to reduce the board's temperature, hence reducing the risk of heat damage. See our surfboard maintenance guide for more information on how the sun and heat can damage your board, or review our video guide on how to strap a surfboard to your roof rack for further help. We often see surfers who strap their board the wrong way on their roof, resulting in extra drag that at high speed can also damage your boards, especially if done with a poor quality set of roof rack straps.
It's a good idea to think about the straps' strength and length while shopping for surfboard tie downs. Nylon and polypropylene, two of the materials used in most of the Boardcave surfboard strap range, are known for their strength and durability. If you want to keep your surfboard from moving about on the roof of your car, non-slip straps are also a good idea. Most modern straps will be designed with grip in mind. The length of the straps will determine how many boards or what gear you can tie down on your racks, too long and it can be annoying but too short and you may be caught out if you bring a few friends boards along when hitting the road.
The straps should be long enough to keep the surfboard from moving around, but short enough not to be a nuisance when driving and having your excess straps flapping in the wind at high speeds. A set of surfboard tie down straps is a must-have for any surfer who values the security of their boards during transit, they are also great to travel with. When traveling overseas for a surf trip and having to get road transport to your accommodation, it can be a great help to have your straps for the taxi between transit. They're crucial to the surfboard's safety and protection because they make transporting the board simple and straightforward. If you are a surfer and care about the security of your boards, you will find a variety of surfboard tie down straps below to meet your needs.
