INNOINA445 Surf-Wind-Long Board Locking Roof Carrier- Holds (1) Kayak or (1) Canoe or (2) SUP)/Wind/Surf-Boards

Takes up a lot of space on the rails and feel like it could attach a little more securely to the rails. Other than that, the ease of used and price is unmatched.

Once you get it set up the first time, this tie-down system is ridiculously easy to use. It goes on and off the roof rack in seconds, and I can easily secure a canoe by myself from one side of the vehicle. Getting it set up the first time took some work, but that was the only time-consuming bit. The only down side now is that it comes with some non-slip rubbery strips that you stick to the side that contacts the roof rack, and those strips tend to bunch up after the first use. I expect them to tear and/or fall off at some point, and then I will need to look for replacement strips.

These things rock because they are by far the fastest way to tie boards down. Seriously it takes only seconds more to secure your gear than it takes just to put the boards up on the roof. Only 4 stars though because they're not really lockable. One side has a lock on it, but the other one does not. So the locks are really just deterrents against casual thieves. Inno really should have put locks on both sides. Sorry to spill the beans fellow Inno owners! Also, the bolts were a little too long for mounting on my ford explorer factory crossbars, so the bolts touch the roof and scratched the paint. This could be easily corrected simply by buying shorter screws though. People connecting to aftermarket roofrack bars which are higher up will not have this problem. But overall, this product makes strapping down boards rediculously easy, so its still a great product.

Works great and for the most part it is easy to install. The ratcheting knobs could benefit to have more leverage to crank down tighter.Went on a 4 hour drive and it held my longboard without issue at 80mph

This is my second set of these. The first set is still in daily use. These racks are exposed to tropical Hawaiian sun year round and the plastic coating on the wires is starting to disintegrate after 2 years of continuous use. They still work fine, I just bought another set as a back up and to use when the original set gets put on our second car. They are quick to adjust, open, close and lock, and they transport even 16' and 17' downwind boards securely, even in strong winds. The rack will likely fail before these carriers. They are not completely theft proof as a determined crook could defeat the system with a pair of good wire cutters but they at least provide a deterrent. I would recommend the Inno carrier system for either Thule or Yakima rack systems. I'm very happy with the performance, ease of use and features of the Inno carriers.

Love these racks...so much more convenient than straps! I’ve used them with surfboards, prone paddleboard, and a sup. Be aware, if you have a compact car, you may not get enough space between the mounts to fit a wide SUP. For surfboards and prone boards, no problems. I don’t have a sup, so it’s not a problem for me (just occasionally have friends with em). Narrower ones have barely fit (Mercedes c250 with racks).

Awesome rack. Securely holds 2 of my surfboards during a 45min drive to the beach on a freeway going 70+mph. Both sides of the rack should have locks though.

They are better a lot than Thule's fat and ugly racks with locks for easiest open and closed strips quickly with locks. My mind is getting peaceful during I eat at restaurant or walk in grocery after surfing but not good idea to leave your surfboards on racks with locked on for overnight.I wish that Inno company can add new very strong cable instead metal wires in near future for resist cutting wires by thief use hacksaw or bolt cutter..
