Will this board last a 14hr. drive on the roof of a car with no board bag?

I couldn't tell you, I transport mine in the back seat of a RAM Pickup truck and it fits. However becareful if it's in full sunlight on a very hot day, it can get some bubbles. Mine did that just leaving it laying in the sun on the beach.

We took it from Virginia to Florida on top of a Tahoe with out a bag. We did not hit bad weather though.

No. Not meant for that wear and tear. It's a very light board, meant for beginner surfers at a young age.

Hey Colin, allthough I don't travel that far with these soft surf racks, my trips range from 1.5 to 2 hrs. I have never had a problem with the tightness of the boards and not too worried about losing them. The main problem I see is that if it rains, the straps leak water into your car. I would think that on a 12 hr road trip to the beach you will catch some rain, but the boards should be secure for the trip

What other folks already said.... If you can tie it on and tie it down, you can transport it. If the bag is to protect the board, you'd probably want to use it.

It will last you more than 5 years under normal use. Remember this is a cruising and hill board.

no idea. I doubt if would be so good, as the padding behind the shell would likely come off iwhen waterlooged with satl water (f longboarding is surfing)

We had a roof rack but the bag ripped completely off and the only thing that was left on the roof rack was the straps. Not sure if the bag was faulty or not but I highly recommend not putting anything of value in the bag or make sure you place items that you won't miss in there. Ours ripped off the roof rack after about 6-7 hours of driving in normal weather conditions.

It does sort of come apart, but the board is a bit wide for a check in sized bag and the other pieces are sturdy but bulky and a bit heavy. So I don't think that it would be easy to travel with this board on an airplane or train. A car might work.

I use it ony 16ft boat fits perfect under seat. Don't know about car rooftop.

I am going to be really Honest,.... I did not get to ride it before it started Cracking on me, and that was 5 min. after i got it out the box and just stood on it. All of the boards have been able to hold my weight( mind you i'm 190 pounds) and this board bowed so much it started to crack, would not turn, and the bearings are crap. So to answer your question, the answer would be I don't know, but if you want a Commuting board, and goes fast I would try ATOM long boards, i personally have great experience with those and I can say they are very nice.

It would probably last a long time if it's not exposed to any heat. Don't leave it in the sun and don't leave it in the back of a truck even with a bed cover on it. Other than that, our granddaughter loved it.

I guess with enough willpower and ingenuity that could work, but you'd lose a lot of the sound/thermal insulation affects of the headliner board, that and I can't imagine it lasting all that long. Go to a salvage yard, you should be able to find a headliner board pretty easily and relatively cheap

You might be able to flatten out the inner material and place a plywood or similar flat board to cover the area to drive over it. The material will tear if rubbed on for an extended period of time. The flattened board should eliminate the rubbing, provided it doesn't move much horizontally when driving over it.

It's kinda hard to explain how much it holds but if you have a roof rack you will have no problem putting it on your roof. I have put a cooler, folding wagon, pack and play, and some pillows inside it with no problem. It even rained and all the stuff stayed dry.

depends how hard of a rider you are. it is a sturdy board but you may need to change out the wheels along its road of use.

Yes it will. It will have to sit on the roof of the car, then there are plenty of tie down loops to attach it to the rack. I used mine in October for a 4500 mile round trip. The way out was fine, but upon arriving home I realised the heavy duty zipper had separated in a few places. I'm in the process of returning it. Just so you know. Good luck.

Depends on how quickly you want it destroyed.It's not recommended to drive with it on but if you must I wouldn't go over about 15mph. It can handle a decent wind but I don't know for how long it will take a beating like that for.

Well, it depends on usage. If you don't drive a lot per day it should last for two weeks easily!
