FCS D-Ring Tie Downs for Securing Your Board
If you searched for FCS D-Ring tie downs, you already know the value of a strap system with no moving parts to fail on the way to the beach. This set from FCS is built for the hardcore surfer and adventurer who needs a dependable way to lock boards down for the drive, no roof rack required.
What Comes in the Set
- Fits 1 to 3 boards to most cars, vans, and 4WDs without roof racks
- 2 straps made from heavy duty 32mm webbing
- 400cm long individual straps
- Tough die-cast metal buckles with numbered how-to steps stamped right on the hardware
Who These Are For
These tie downs are made for the South Florida surfer running boards to the beach without a permanent roof rack, whether that is a daily trip down A1A or a longer run to a swell up the coast. Anyone hauling more than one board at a time, or borrowing a friend's car for a surf session, benefits from a strap system that does not depend on a rack that may not fit their vehicle.
How to Use and Care for Them
Loop the straps over the roof and through the doors, following the numbered steps cast into each buckle, then cinch until the boards sit snug against the roofline with no shifting. Because there are no moving parts like cam buckles or ratchets, there is less to jam or wear out over repeated use. Rinse the webbing after saltwater exposure and let the straps dry fully before storing to keep the buckles from corroding and the webbing from breaking down.
