Transporting paddleboards?
We have a 2005 Four Winds with no ladder. I'm trying to figure out a good way to transport paddle/surfboards without putting them inside. Anyone have any ideas?

I built my own exactly like the one in the above picture. Made it for 300 in materials far from the grand plus for the one above. vertical bike carriers are awesome and paddle boards on both sides is the way to go. Forget trying to use the roof won't work effectively. Keep in mind heights I'm just below the ac unit so it's OK. I primarily kiteboard so adding surfboards is easy with the rack. Best mod ever. I have a paddle board cover highly recommend and full lock system to keep it secure and safe from road debris and crackheads. fiberglass is fragile and the naked racks are for pavement people only. I boondock and kite in pretty remote places that have a lot of dirt roads.
The one thing I didn't like on the kayackrack.com one was tail clearance. one dip or uphill and it will touch down I put mine up just below the rear bumper and have no problems again watch your clearance if you make your own and I also made mine to keep the tailights clear at all times for legal purposes
Either this or get a blow up board I prefer fiberglass my self with g10 glass fins over blowups
