innoboardlocker280.jpgIntroducing one of the best roof rack locking solution available for your stand up paddle board. NSI brings you The INNO BoardLocker Roof Rack System.

This rack accessory mounts easily on existing car roof racks, offering protection and security from board theft. The “crane” strap system opens the Locker up for easy, no fuss loading. Once the board is in place, simply open up the locked hood and crank the straps down tight. Best of all, the rubber coated stainless steel straps that ratchet down for secure tightening grip the board(s) better than any strap system. Then lock the hood down and roll.


The universal attachment systems allows you to mount the boardlocker to Thule, Yakama and all other aftermarket roof rack systems, plus all factory racks (with the exception of Hummers). Hold one, two or three full size SUP boards!
