What is the best way to carry a surfboard when you have the soft top on.

I’ve seen plenty of people use soft racks with the soft top - even with the soft top down.

Personally, I just fold my seats down and throw my boards in the back, but I assume that’s not an option for you?

Drop the top,
Lay foam on the B and C roll bar and strap it down, couldn't be easier.

Take it off.

I mean just lower the top down, if your headed to the beach I'm assuming the weather is nice.

Nope I have a car seat back there.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking.

Might these be suitable? It's something I have been interested in but can't find a ton of people that use them. From what I understand you would need to use them with the top down which may or may not be a problem

That's cool Dan. My only concern is if, like in my locale, that gear extends more than 4' behind the rear (making it street illegal).

Another solution along a similar vein is the Darby Extend-A-Truck.

It's downside is that it requires both front and back hitches, in addition to the purchase of two Darby Extend-A-Trucks.

The OP was asking about a surfboard. it's unlikely a surfboard would surpase 4feet past the rear of the jeep. A SUP might, but that's a different problem.

Also the OP showed a JLU so the rack you listed wouldn't work anyway since I don't think even a canoe would span that distance.

Almost all states allow an excess of 4ft past rear if proper safety protocols and added.
