Overview
The FCS D-Ring tie down system is simply the strongest and most reliable way secure your boards. No moving parts means no chance of mechanical failure. Built for the hardcore surfer and adventurer.
Features
Its a great quality and I love it but just remember that this is only for a short period and won't be very stable on 80+ especially when it's windy.
Happily flew down the motorway at 110km/h and the boards were very safe!
I was worried that our little VW Golf would be too small for our boards (one is 8ft) but they stuck just fine. Worked with both foam top and fiberglass boards too.
The only flaw is that when driving in very heavy rain, we had some water leak into the car on the strap. I can’t really blame the product for this though as the rain was particularly bad and we had pulled the straps very tight (which the manual advises you not to).
Would recommend!
These racks are great, the simplicity/minimalistic design of the D-Ring system means no small intricate parts that can break or rust out early. Also the lack of a ratchet means you're far less likely to overtighten and damage your boards, while the D-Ring system is more than secure enough to keep your boards safely fastened to your roof. I would say this is the best soft rack system on the market!
Two weeks bombing up and down the east coast in the middle of La Niña and the boards were safe as houses. Good product
Great product, such a awesome idea.
Saved me purchasing expensive roof racks.
