Which side of the paddleboard faces up on a rack?

Deck down, so the smooth bottom faces up. This protects the hull, keeps the board from catching wind under it, and sits more stably on the pads.

Do I need a roof rack for a paddleboard?

For a hard board, yes, or at least foam rack pads and straps through the doors. Inflatable boards need nothing extra since they roll into their own bag.

How do I stop the board from denting?

Snug the straps only until the board is secure, use a board bag for cushioning, and never crank the cam buckles hard, especially on a hot day.

How to Move a Paddleboard

Last updated 2026-07-13 · MovePlan Editorial Team

Moving a paddleboard is easy once you know whether yours is a hard board or inflatable. Inflatable SUPs deflate and roll into a backpack that fits any car. Hard boards ride on a roof rack, deck down, strapped over soft pads. This guide covers both, plus protecting the board from dents and wind on the highway.

Difficulty: Easy
Time: Hard board loading: 10 minutes. Deflating an inflatable: 5 to 10 minutes.
Typical cost: Roof rack pads and straps roughly $40 to $120. Inflatable SUP: no extra gear, it fits in its own bag. Shipping a hard board runs about $100 to $300.
Supplies: Roof rack crossbars or foam rack pads, Cam-buckle straps (2), Board bag or padding, Fin protection or fin removal tool, Bow line for long boards (optional)

Pro tip: An inflatable SUP is the ultimate mover-friendly board. It packs into a backpack and needs zero roof gear.

Watch out: Do not overtighten straps on a hard SUP. Foam and EPS boards dent under too much pressure, especially in the sun.
