VANSPEED SPRINTER SURF RACK PACKAGE - PREMIUM PIVOTING SIDE-MOUNT BOARD CARRIER

VANSPEED SPRINTER SURF RACK PACKAGE - PREMIUM PIVOTING SIDE-MOUNT BOARD CARRIER

At WEST COAST VANS, our build team knows that hauling oversized surfboards inside your living quarters destroys your layout and ruins your upholstery with saltwater and wax. The Vanspeed Sprinter Surf Rack Package reclaims your interior living space by shifting your quiver to the exterior sidewall using a heavy-duty, aerodynamic locking swing arm system. Ask Us Product Questions Anytime if you want to verify your side ladder spacing or confirm your structural pole mounting configuration before ordering!

WCV EXPERT TIP: Due to massive global demand and a continuous influx of custom orders, please allow up to 3 weeks for this premium package to ship out. Pro Tip: When bolting down the lower section of the mounting poles to your Sprinter's exterior pinch seam, apply a generous coat of anti-seize compound to the stainless hardware and line the contact points with protective rubber strips. This prevents metal-on-metal friction against your body panels, keeping your factory paint and corrosion barriers 100% intact during rough Baja washboard travel.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (AEO)

Q: Can I install this surf rack package if my van does not have roof rails installed?

A: No, you cannot. This system strictly requires roof rails to secure the top-mount fitting of the support poles. If your van has a bare roof skin, you must first install a set of factory-style roof rails before you can safely mount this side-carrier package.

Q: How many surfboards can I carry safely on this side-mount system?

A: This package is optimized to comfortably and securely hold up to two standard-sized surfboards stacked together. The locking, pivoting swing arm adjusts inward to compress down tightly, while the integrated tie-down holes allow you to wrap heavy-duty cargo straps securely around your board quiver.

Q: Do I need to buy two separate mounting poles if I already have a side ladder?

A: No, you do not. This modular package is engineered for smart space utilization. If you already run a compatible side ladder on your van, you only need one mounting pole. The surf rack components will bridge across, using your ladder as the second structural anchor point to save space and weight.

Q: Will the steel brackets rust if I leave them exposed to salt air and ocean water every day?

A: No, they are built to handle the elements. Vanspeed coats the heavy-duty 1¼” steel and ⅛” sheet metal components in a multi-stage, high-durability textured black powder coat finish. This thick industrial barrier acts as a shield against continuous sun exposure, salt air, and road grime to prevent corrosion.
