When transporting a paddleboard you'll need a rack to strap the board to and some padding to keep from denting or dinging the board. The rack options in this SUP carrier comparison requires your car to have an existing roof rack with crossbars.

Inflatable stand-up paddle boards are great for those of us who don't have a lot of storage at home or who likes to go SUP-ping at destinations that are not easily accessable by car. When depflated the SUP easily fits in the trunk of a car and can be carried like a backpack to those more inaccessable paddle spots.

If there is one complaint that you'll hear from roof rack owners at least once, it's about the annoying noise some cross bars make. It is enough to drive anyone nuts. The problem is worse on the older square and round bars but the new profiled bars can suffer the same fate. We'll show you how to stop, or at a minimum significantly reduce the whisteling from your noisy roof racks.
