Surfboard Transport Gear – Racks, Pads, Straps & Boardbags

Born on the Gold Coast and built for Aussie conditions, our Summer vibes transport range is designed to get your gear from home to beach — and anywhere in between — safely, easily, and without the stress.

Whether you're loading up for a quick local surf, heading down the coast for a weekend mission, or packing for an overseas trip, we've got the racks, roof pads, tie downs and boardbags to keep your boards protected and dialled.

Everything you need to transport your surfboards

From soft racks for quick installs to heavy-duty tie-down straps and premium wheely boardbags for travel, this collection covers every way to move your gear.

  • Roof Rack Pads – protect your car and boards with secure cushioning
  • Soft Racks – no roof racks? No problem. Quick setup for any car
  • Tie Down Straps – strong, reliable and built for highway speeds
  • Boardbags – day use covers through to multi-board travel coffins
  • Storage & Travel Accessories – keep everything organised on the move

Built for Aussie conditions

We design and source gear that holds up in real conditions — hot cars, long drives, salt, sand, and repeat use. No flimsy gear. Just reliable, user-friendly transport solutions that make getting to the surf easy.

Suits shortboards, fish, hybrids, mid-lengths, mini mals, funboards, longboards, softboards, bodyboards and SUPs. Comparable alternatives to Creatures of Leisure, Ocean & Earth, FCS, Dakine and FK Surf, without the premium price tag.

  • Australian owned and independent
  • Designed for real-world surf use
  • Premium quality without the big brand markup

  • Built for durability, ease of use and reliability

FAQs

We aim to ship within 24hrs of receiving your order. If there is a delay we will contact you and notify you of any changes. During peak holiday periods we may have a slight delay with increased orders but we do our best to get you in the water as soon as possible.

Every order ships with the lowest-cost, fastest option available for what you’ve bought and where it’s going. Surf hardware — fins, leashes, traction, boardbags, wax and the like — is a flat $9.99 Australia-wide and ships free on orders over $60. Boards are bulky, so board shipping is priced by size and destination: add the board to your cart and enter your address at checkout to see the exact charge before you pay. Tip: add $80 of hardware to a board order and the board ships free too. For surfboard deliveries we prefer a business address so your board is safe after drop-off.
