Just wondering if there's any good roofracks for small cars. Mostly for my TT.
Guessing a wake style rack would work too.

Anybody know of any good ones??

Cheers

Soft racks from a surf shop would work

You should be able to buy ROOF RACKS FOR A TWIN TIP where ever you're buying your glittery hot pants from

Don't they fit in your boot?

Otherwise look for snowboard roof racks. Any ski shop or roof rack shop will sell them.

My TT doesn't fit in the boot of either of my small cars. It would possibly fit in both with the rear seats down but never tried that and it's easier to just throw it across the rear foot wells/back seats.

Search for inflatable roof racks. They retail for about $100 to $200. They are cheap and you will have straps running inside your car... but they do the trick if you're on a budget and looking for a quick solution. They won't last forever but I did many road trips using them before and was able to carry many boards without any issues.

A great moment was when i saw a single twintip strapped to an audi station wagon. It was staying "hey look at me, I do kiteboarding!"

I can get them in, but the passenger seat needs to be forward.......
There's no way I can get a passenger seat in there!!

I want roofracks because I can't fit a friend in the car with me..... I guess that's not a problem for you coz you wouldn't have many friends with an attitude like that.....

Everyone's a smart arse and a hero I suppose.....

Maybe I do wear hot pants ...... But I'm pretty sure you're gunna be one of those guys with a helmet & go-joe!!

Appreciate it doctor body drag!

Whispbar is good but rather expensive. The good bit is that it is quiet at higher speeds and quite 'stylish' if you care about it

Couldn't be what he was referring to, otherwise he would have said "for my wife's car"

Roof box is good. You can chuck kites and stinky wet suit in too. It locks up and nobody can see whats in it.

Or buy a bretherin bus or ute or other big vehicle.

My old lightwind board didn't fit in the boot, so it had to go on the roof racks.
