There are three main ways to carry your surfboard to and from the beach. The first and most obviously way is to just carry it under your arm. However if you have a larger surfboard, such as a SUP or longboard, a long walk can make your arms tired, losing much needed paddling strength. If this is the case, you may want some type of surfboard sling to help you carry your board. Most slings consists of a simple strap that wraps around your surfboard and then hangs over your shoulder, helping to remove the weight from your arms. If you don’t have the luxury of living close to the beach, you will then need some type of surfboard rack to carry your board on your car. There are many different types of surfboard racks you can use, but the two most popular are soft racks and hard racks. Soft racks are cheaper and can be taken on and off your car, while hard racks are much more expensive and cannot be removed once installed. Depending on how often you surf will determine what type of rack you will need. But remember, the best type of surfboard rack allows you to get to the beach in the shortest amount of time possible, allowing you to save your energy for the waves.
