“I purchased the thule double decker surfboard carrier 809 in april 2011. It is advertised as having a three board capacity. I used it as a single short board carrier. My board is only 6' 6 . It was attached to a thule cross bar system installed on my 2011 XC60 3.2 Volvo. The rear rack is divided into two sections with each section secured by two bolt heads that float in a aluminum channel for width adjustment. The surfboard is mounted on the rack and is secured by a strap with a key locking mechanism. I travel 40 miles on the freeway each way to the beach at least once per week. …”
