Roof Rack Yakima + Surfboard rack

I am selling a full roof rack from Yakima made according to the specs from their website.

It also comes with a custom rear rack to accommodate longer objects such as Surfboards... It works wonderfully and I have carried my longboard from Seattle to Wesport a lot of times and I could cruise at 80mph.

The bottom of the rear rack stays attached to the car and the big 'T' can be removed very easily (3min).

here are a few pictures:






This is the full Yakima Rack without the rear custom rack:

Everything is made out of aluminum... Very lightweight!

Thank you for all this info (about kayak/surfboard racks) and the pics. I am relieved there is a rack that I can use.

It does not exist as is... You have to build it yourself... :-)

Btw, the whole system has been sold already...

Just curious why you added the extra rear support - was the stock rack unstable? I use a soft rack all the time with no problem hauling up to my 9'6" SUP but would prefer the convenience of the hard rack...

Believe it or not I drive an hour or so with this thing on top all the time and never had a problem.
