WHITE TOP ADVENTURES SPRINTER SURFBOARD RACK AND HOLDER

WHITE TOP ADVENTURES SPRINTER SURFBOARD RACK AND HOLDER

At WEST COAST VANS, we know that dialing in your board storage can make or break a coastal swell chaser—tossing wet, salty boards inside your living cabin ruins your fabric, tracks in sand, and completely kills your interior floor space. The White Top Adventures® Sprinter Surfboard Rack and Holder is the ultimate exterior lifestyle infrastructure upgrade designed to solve that exact headache. Precision-engineered to mount directly to the side exterior profile of your Sprinter van, this premium vertical carrier allows you to transport your shortboards, longboards, or fish securely on the outside of your vehicle. By utilizing a heavy-duty mechanical clamp-and-strap framework, it ensures your boards stay locked tightly against the van's side wall during long highway hauls or bumpy beach access trails, giving you a clean interior and instant access to the water the second you pull up to the break. Ask Us Product Questions Anytime if you want to verify board thickness capacities or check mounting compatibility with your specific side ladder setup!

WCV EXPERT TIP Because surfboards act like miniature wings at high highway speeds, side-mounted boards are highly susceptible to wind lift and highway crosswinds if not positioned correctly. Pro Tip: When locking your surfboard into the vertical holder, always mount the board with the nose pointing down toward the ground and the wax/deck side facing inward flat against the rack’s protective padding. Having the tail and fins positioned upward breaks up the high-speed air currents rolling off your front windshield, drastically reducing wind drag, eliminating strap buzz, and keeping your expensive glass completely safe from rock chips or debris kicked up by your front tires.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW The White Top Adventures® Sprinter Surfboard Rack and Holder is a premium, marine-grade exterior storage solution built explicitly for ocean-minded overlanders. Precision-cut from high-tensile structural aluminum and finished in a deeply durable, salt-resistant black powder coating, this rack system delivers bulletproof strength without adding unnecessary weight to your van's side profile. The kit comes complete with premium stainless steel installation hardware, heavy-duty UV-resistant tie-down straps, and thick protective foam padding strips to insulate your board's rails from direct metal contact, preventing scratches and pressure dings on the road.
