Yes you can. As long as the Vertical Surfboard Carrier is mounted properly and your surfboard is strapped down and secure, driving at highway speeds is perfectly fine. How many boards can be carried in it? We recommend referring to your local road regulations, however when the surf mount is in the horizontal, down position, we have seen customers carry 2-3 boards without issue. How big can the boards be? The Vertical Surfboard Carrier was designed with SUPs in mind and can carry a board up to 3 inches thick. Remember that the size of your rack will have an impact on how far apart you can spread the vertical holders for the board. On a small rack, we wouldn’t advise holding a large SUP. Can I use it alongside my rooftop tent? Be sure to mount the Surfboard on the non opening side of the Roof Top Tent and you will not have to remove it. Can I stack my surfboards? You can stack your surfboards in the flat position but not in the vertical position. Surfboard Vertical Carrier Video:
