    Where to put my boards?

    Well my surf boards won't fit in the stock racks. I ride thicker boards like the inland surfer red woody and the blue lake. They are just a little too thick mi was just wondering where everyone keeps their boards with similar problems? Do they make surf racks for the fct5 tower? I looked around and didnt see any. I didn't get the z5 rack I just did the stock nautique Bimini.

      Ok I was hoping there were better direct fit options. I honestly have no use for the stock racks. Any idea their value? Maybe I will just replace them with these.

              My surf board fits in my wakeboard racks, but just barely, but I will rest the kneeboard on top of an upside down wakeboard or wakeskate or something then also use a bungee cord to keep it from going anywhere.

                I actually like the bungee option but would that work with the nautique Bimini?

                  UofM, if you have the Roswell spinners you will be able to just replace the forks for around $199 through nautiqueparts.

                        I swapped out my stock racks for surf racks. Works much better although I still store my surfboard (4'11") on top of my Z5). It fits in the surf rack but I was concerned that the bungee cords were not long enough and could cause damage on a wide board like mine (ShredStixx Thresher).

                          Did you have to replace the swivel as well?
