Ocean & Earth Multi Purpose Rax Soft Roof Racks

Transport your surfboards, longboards and stand up paddle boards with the Ocean & Earth Multi Purpose Rax, a versatile soft roof rack system designed to fit most cars without requiring permanent roof racks.

Easy to install and remove, the Multi Purpose Rax uses aerodynamic padded bases and extra-wide heavy-duty webbing to securely transport your boards while helping protect both your equipment and vehicle from scratches and damage.

Surfboard, Longboard & SUP Roof Racks

The Multi Purpose Rax is designed for surfers and paddlers who need a flexible roof-rack solution that can handle different boards.

Ocean & Earth rates the system for carrying:

1–4 surfboards
Up to 2 SUPs or longboards

It can also be used for transporting skis and snowboards, making it a useful year-round vehicle rack system.

Fits Most Cars

One of the biggest advantages of the Ocean & Earth Multi Purpose Rax is that you don't need permanent roof racks fitted to your vehicle.

The soft racks are designed to fit most cars and can be quickly attached when you need them and removed when you don't.

This makes them particularly useful for rental cars, second vehicles or surfers who don't want permanent roof bars installed.

Heavy-Duty 38mm Webbing

Ocean & Earth uses extra-wide 38mm heavy-duty webbing to help keep your boards securely attached to the vehicle.

The webbing is high-strength, UV treated and tightly woven for durability while maintaining a softer feel to help reduce scratching. Adjustable anchor straps allow the system to accommodate different load widths.

Rubber-Covered Cam Buckles

Strong, rust-proof cam buckles provide a secure fastening point, while a protective rubber buckle casing helps prevent the metal buckle from scratching your vehicle or boards.

Integrated Velcro loops can also be used to secure excess webbing once your boards are tied down.

Raised EVA Foam Pads

The Multi Purpose Rax uses raised EVA foam padding to provide a soft, cushioned base between your boards and vehicle roof.

Ocean & Earth specifically raises the pads to help keep items such as board-cover handles and zippers clear of the vehicle roof, while the soft padded base helps prevent scratching.

An easy-clean PVC upper layer makes the racks practical for regular beach use.
