I was wanting one of these surfboard bike racks for a really long time and finally bought this one. I can't believe that I waited so long. WOW! This makes life so much easier. Being able to ride my bike with 2 hands instead of 1 is so much safer and less of a hassle, especially if you have to bike against the wind. So easy to put on, you probably don't even need instructions. I highly recommend for anybody that rides their bike to their local break.

I purchased a Carver Surfboard Bike Rack on a whim with the intention of taking it along on a recent two week surfing adventure in New Zealand. Actually, it wasn't much of an adventure, with enough surf to keep us entertained at any one of the many breaks within an easy bike ride of my sister's home. In the end, this purchase ended up being the next most essential piece of equipment besides my surfboard and wetsuit. And the ability to easily and safely transport my surfboard and gear to the beach, on a bicycle, and without the need for an automobile was huge! It afforded me a level of independence and mobility I've not experienced in the past. And it also made me look like an instant local!

The Carver Surfboard Bike Rack has two major features: The single point, seat-post mounting bracket (I didn't even have to wrestle with removing the corroded, old nut on the seat of my borrowed bike); And the overall compactness of this lightweight design (The entire rack was easily broken down and stowed within my surfboard bag).

Many years ago, I owned a similar set of racks, of poor design, that required a two-point installation. The two-point installation was much harder to install, harder to navigate with, and left scratches all over the frame of my bicycle. The Carver Surfboard Bike Rack eliminates all of this hassle. And all of the damage. (Especially if you are on a borrowed or rented bicycle.)

Since I've been living inland for the past few years, with only the option to travel for surf, I decided to leave my rack with my sister, assuming it'll be there for me on future visits. However, within a couple of days she reported that she'd already transferred the racks to her bicycle, "in about five minutes".

I highly recommend the Carver Surfboard Bike Rack.

these are perfect. We purchased 2 of these because my husband has a bike he uses for local surfing and one he takes to Trestles. Great product!

Exactly as promised. Made well and feels solid when riding. I have it on a medium Specialized Fatboy. I do wish it was easier to completely remove like some of the other board racks, but not a big deal.

We live at the beach and surf regularly. Before we got this surf rack, I was always faced with the challenge of awkwardly carrying my surfboard under my arm while trying to steer. This rack is like a dream. Literally place the board on the rack and go. Simple to install. Great craftsmenship. Also folds in while riding without the board and it feels like it's not even there. I'd give a 10 star rating if I could. Thank you Carver!
