Roof Rack And Tie-Downs For Surfboard On 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe With Flush Rails On Roof

Question:

I have a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, with flush rails, similar to the car in your video. I need a rack to transport my 9-6inch surfboard. It appears the RRSx032 is the best fit, but Im a little concerned about uplift from the surfboard. The flush rails dont have much of a lip to attach the rack. Do you think this might be a problem? Id hate to see my surfboard sailing down the highway....

As long as you use a good tie-down system on your Santa Fe you should not have a problem with the surfboard flying off.

The roof rack I recommend is the Rhino-Rack Vortex. This features black aluminum aerodynamic crossbars that help to reduce wind noise and drag. for this roof rack you will need part # RRVA137B-2, and part # RRSX032.

To carry the surfboard I recommend a tie-down kit like part # RRRWP03. This included 21-1/2 inch pads and 2 tie-downs to secure the board to the crossbars.
