Hi, Can this surfboard rack hold a 130 pound solid surfboard? Thank you,

I would say no. unless you have powerful anchors it might hold half that weight.

I wouldn't risk it. It is strong, but the arms can maybe snap if it is tilted. I have a large 9'6" on it and never worry.

It will handle 180 lbs no problem. The board is slightly convex (curved the whole length of the board) which gives it plenty of strength.

I don't think so,, you could, if your very creative,, attach it to a heavy 2X10 board. That would make it heavy. This item is made of plastic and the underside is hollow.

I would say yes. I purchased this rack because it was the only one I could find that could carry 4 bikes and beach cruisers wide tires. I've been pretty happy with it other than its heavy and if you use it on a hatch back, you cannot open the door without taking the bikes off.

I think this board can hold up to more than 300 lbs. My 160 lb son and his friend of equal weight easily rode this together without any difficulty.

Yes, but there is a weight limit the the rack if you exceed that your asking to get hurt. The limit is shown to you in the instructions.

I would not think it would work well. The boards are pretty heavy and dense.

I haven't used a foam board on this rack before; I would think you could though so long as the board is stiff enough and won't sag through the middle.

Hi Rebecca, The rack itself can hold 165lbs. However, your vehicle may have a lower or higher weight limit for putting things on the roof, so you will need to check your owners manual for that info. Whichever is less, is your particular roof weight limit.

Yes it can! In the setup manual it a diagram of the unit with different weight limits on the different shelves. The main "top" part of the unit can hold 25lbs, the two small outsides shelves hold 5lbs each and the 4 main shelves each hold 10lbs!

I've definitely carried surfboards with 25" width, but the nose and tail are under the straps of the rack. A good rule of thumb is to use a couple of extra straps around your boards (and rack), that way you have no "single point of failure".

I exchanged emails with them a few years ago about its weight capacity. They said they had dropped 1200 lbs on the spotters and hooks and it didn't budge (I still have the old email). I don't know if it would endure that beat for long or anything would for that matter. I certainly wouldn't drop that kind of load on the front hooks outside the rack without having it bolted on the floor! You could tip the rack. Also the dip bars are rated at 250 lbs a piece.

For sure. It's pretty solid. I have a plate tree, but if you put your plates on the supports that come on this rack, it's even sturdier.

I am 5' 4" and have a SUP that weighs 22 lbs. I am able to balance the SUP on my head, tilt one end higher and rest it on the rack while I walk backwards to get the rest of the board on the rack. I don't know if I would be able to do that with a board that weighs twice as much but you may be stronger and taller than I am. I prefer to load our two boards when the two of us can help with the process. It is possible alone.

No. It's too large and would exceed the weight limit of 130 lbs. 58" is the max listed.

I'm sure if you placed a piece of board inside the bottom you could carry almost any load you want, the limit on this would be the webbing in the current format, though with 150lbs in the back - better you peddaling than me

Probably fine. It didn't specify a weight limit, but it is sturdy and solid. Most equipment of this type is meant to support up to around 250.
