Hi there- do you think this will hold a paddleboard? My board is long, 14 feet.

Sorry! I can't help with that...gave it as a gift and owner of rack is on vacation and i can't reach him to ask. Good luck!

No I believe these are designed for a board 8ft and under. I have a 9ft and notice slipping in the brackets.
1332113
Yes. I use it for an 8'10" x 30 paddleboard. Had to stretch it out a bit, but works like a charm. I think the length will not be a problem, just need to balance the bike when riding.

Hi Kelly. I purchased this as a gift for my Grandson who lives in another state, so I don't know the answer to that question. I believe he hasn't used it, so I don't think he would know either. Good luck.

Probably. Lengthwise no problem, it really depends on the width of the paddleboard. The gap where the board goes in the holder is about 3.75 inches (3 and 3/4). If your board is 3 and 3/4" thick or less, then no problem.

Hi Kelly, the issue is not only the paddleboard's length but also the board's width. The rack has a space of about 3.5 inches to hold the board, I'd say its not enough for a paddleboard though it's perfect for any other average surf board. Hope I was able to clear your doubt!

I regularly transport my Stand Up Paddleboard (9' 10" x 29 1/2") both on the roof rack and inside the vehicle (by reclining the front passenger and middle seat) and there is s little wiggle room to spare, so it seems like you should be able to make it work...

I think it would fit. My board is 42 by 14 and it just fits the width with little to go under the edges.

It should be fine. Mine has some wiggle room in the middle for clothes and rash guards. That is a THICK board! Standup paddle?

Agreed - would suggest at least 9 ft for paddleboarding. This is a great board for the surf

I have a Y-legged board and it does fit. All you do is bend the hooks out a little bit and it'll hold your board with no problems.

It would work if it was made for a 14'2" boat, but in a strong wind, I don't think it would stay.

I dont think it is too long but it is super heavy to carry and transport. I am very happy with the board. This year i have a plan to put a hanger on the back of our boat so we can take with on the lake. Good luck

I use it with two paddleboards stacked on top of each other... A 14 foot and a 12 foot. Probably at least 60 pounds total. Works good for my needs. Pretty simple design. The only limitation for your purpose would be fitting the bow or stern into the slot that the tail of the board fits in. If it doesn't I think you could still use the bungee that's supplied to fasten it to the wheels. Hope this helps.

This will not in any way simulate the wobble of a paddleboard. It is stable and will give you better balance for standing, but not for motion. Hope this helps.

I don't think so. The straps are limited to the width of a surfboard. You should check out a more versatile soft rack like penguin feet. (Penguin-feet.com). They make racks specifically for paddle boards and can support larger equipment than fcs pads.

Not sure why it wouldn't. We only have kayaks and this rack works great! Might have to get longer tie downs to compensate for the extra width of your SUP.

I'm not sure. I bought it for my surfboards. They are 9 feet and 8 feet. The straps are pretty wide. I imagine it would be fine but I'm not an expert on the kayak situation.

I have! I use it for kayaks, paddle boards, and a sailboard, and I honestly haven't had any problem at all. Either pull the foam all the way over the corners of the frame to give it more grip or lay a folded yoga towel (my wife's idea) across the frame and make sure to bungee fairly tightly when you use it for the boards. Also place the frame about 2/3rds back and lift the front of the board, it won't work very well if you try to place the frame in the center of the board. Hope that helps!

I'm not sure. I have this rack for my daughters 6' board and it works great...I have no experience with this rack and long boards.

Hi Jill, I use this for a 7' 8" surfboard on a Camry. It is working great. The rule is if the board extends by more than one foot beyond the rack, you will need to tie down the end. If you are using these on a van, you will be able to spread them out further than I can on my Camry. However, I am not sure how big your paddle board is. If I were you, I would take a guess at how far you can spread the racks out on your roof, and then see how far your paddle board will extend beyond the rack in both directions.

no, the board is poor quality, could be a paddle board for kids, it is only 6 feet, a paddle board are usually 9' foot up.
