Surf Racks and Surfboard Carriers — Made for South African Surfers

South Africa has world-class surf, and getting your board there shouldn’t be the hard part. Holdfast’s range of surf racks and surfboard carriers is designed to make transport simple, safe, and secure — whether you’re running a single shortboard to a local break or loading up multiple boards for a trip to J-Bay or the Wild Coast.

Soft Racks and Foam Surfboard Carriers

Soft surf racks are the fastest way to carry a surfboard on any vehicle, including cars without roof racks. Holdfast soft racks use heavy-duty foam padding to protect your board’s rails and deck, with wide cam-buckle straps that cinch tight and stay put at highway speed. They’re compact enough to toss in your board bag when you’re done.

Hard-Mount Surfboard Carriers

If you’re running a full roof rack, a dedicated surfboard mount gives you a cleaner, more secure setup. Hard-mount cradles lock your board in position and allow you to carry bikes, luggage, or other gear simultaneously — no compromise on deck space.

Straps and Tie-Down Accessories

Quality tie-down straps make the difference between a board that arrives in one piece and one that doesn’t. Holdfast’s surf straps are rated for the load and built to resist UV and saltwater degradation — a genuine consideration on the South African coast.
