Always thought there was an obvious way to put the board on the roof rack.
Since the bottom is flat , the top rounded and sensitive, I always put the bottom down on the rack.
Once that is decided, I think it is logical to put the board facing the back in terms of aerodynamics. If it was facing front, there would be wind resistance and loss of fuel efficiency.
Then there is talk on the SB forum about leaving the fin on or taking it off. My fins cost me over $150 each. They will stay IN the van and in their protective sleeve !!
I also donut like to pile boards on top of each other since this stresses the footstraps - unless i put some tennis balls in the straps and keep board bags on.
The craziest thing i have found is this image. In other words - donut overload #$%^&* [:)]
It looks like they either set this up just for the picture or had an accident where the door was blown off and thus crinkled the roof. ODD ...
