Rack Pads

Soft roof racks, tie-downs, and tailgate pads to haul your surfboard safely to the break. Island Water Sports has helped South Florida surfers get boards to the beach since 1978, and we stock the transport gear that travels well. Shop FCS D-Ring single and double soft racks, Cam Lock soft racks and tie-downs, and the FCS Cam Lock tailgate pad, plus Dakine Baja tie-down straps and the Aero rack pad, the Creatures of Leisure Rax round-bar pad, and our own Island Water Sports tie-down strap.

How do soft racks attach to my car?

Soft racks like the FCS D-Ring and Cam Lock systems loop through your doors or over crossbars and cinch down, so most cars can carry a board without a permanent roof rack. Check each product page for the fit and board capacity.

What is a tailgate pad for?

The FCS Cam Lock tailgate pad protects your truck tailgate and your board when you haul boards in the bed, a popular setup for quick beach runs.
