"Hi I'm Schell Michael, I'm here with Expert Village and today we're going to be doing a series on how to surf. Okay let's talk about transporting your board and how you going to do that. A lot of people don't have the luxury of having a big SUV or a big truck. A lot of us are trying to save on gas. Therefore, we have cars. So, another one of you friends is going to be surf racks. These are great. They're just like little foam rollers. These ones have a little surf company, you know. Sometimes you can get these things made, you can get your name on it if you like, that'd be cute. So inside just a little bit of foam, outside just kind of covering and these are going to be great protective paint on your car and these are going to be your removable rack which are great. So you can surf off to the beach with your board but then if you want to go out later do something, you could take them off and you don't have to have these things lying around. Pretty much you just lie them over the top of your car. And you just run the straps through and it says connected and you have these that go on top to go of your board, and you just run it through, just like this and it tightens the board down. So the board will be between in the rack and in here and it just keeps it for a nice secure fit. The best thing is to have the board, the nose of the board, you're going to turn the board over, so the wax is facing down towards the racks. You don't have the nose of your board facing the back of your car and the fins at the front of your car. And the reason why we have the fins towards the front of the car is cause when you strap it down, it straps in front of the fin so that when the wind blows on your car it's going to get, the straps going to get caught on your fins and it's not going to fly off."
