A surfboard on the roof of a car can act like the wing of an airplane. G-force, lift and drag all come into play. A board flying off a vehicle can become a deadly missile.

Steps

Buckles on the straps should be the cam-spring type and not d-ring style. No-Rust zinc buckles are preferred.

This reduces "lift" and the surfboard fins will act as a "stop" to prevent the board from sliding backwards off the rack.

Wrap the straps through the side-rails (around the cross-bars) of the rack and over the top of the surfboard(s) then around the cross-bars on the other side. Make sure the strap buckle is not on the rail of the surfboard. Each strap should cross the board twice. Repeat for other cross-bar.^{[1] X Research source}
