Thule SUP Taxi XT Surfboard Rack

This a Thule product. Gotta love that! Excellent quality, easy to install and use, comes with key locks, super strong but soft on my board, plus Thule backs their product with great customer care. Highly recommend.

Quality built product

Our family recently had a family reunion in another state where we wanted to bring our hard stand up paddleboards. Around town, we had always just stuck them over the seats of my wife's Honda Pilot and that wasn't a problem for a 15 minute ride, but 8-9 hours at highway speeds was a different matter. We were able to install them on a standard crossbar without much difficulty at all. They tighten down and lock into place so others wouldn't be able to easily mess with anything. They are independently adjustable so it doesn't matter if you have a wide board or a narrow one. The straps that hold the boards down are also long enough that we could put two on without any concerns at all. I feel like we were more limited by the weight the car could carry than the weight the racks could hold. They say they are limited up to 80 mph and we tested that successfully. In fact, I may have hit 85 a couple times, and it got a little scary sometimes when we passed a big truck or with the Wyoming winds, but we made it there and back without any issues at all. It was more expensive than I wanted to spend, but it did the job and I'm happy to protect my other investments.

I won't lie. I was a little skeptical when I saw the price tag. I read lots of reviews. Watched lots of videos on assembly and figured I'd give it a go and boy am I Glad I did. Installation was a little difficult at first. The instructions are not clear whatsoever, but after a few YouTube videos I figured it out. There's a larger key in the package that's going to be your install key. Trust me that alone makes life easier. Once I got it on and board strapped over, I cannot imagine how I did this before. A job strapping boards to the top that used to take no less than 30 minutes now takes no more than 30 seconds. So pleased and would absolutely purchase again!!

Great rack! Terrible instructions. I had to use YouTube and other videos to figure out how to install the locks and install them on my vehicle. Once I got it all set up, I love it and it's perfect!

Best money ever spent. I can get my 11’ SUPs on with no help and only take 5 minutes!

The wife recently got a new subaru after ditching an acadia. We previously used a SUP strap system that didn't incorporate cross bars...which was super sketchy diving over 40 miles per hour. Enter the thule into our lives. We strap 2 inflatable sups up there and the worry about them flying off is gone. Super solid design, easy to use and worry free. Spend the money, just do it.

Bought to take two SUP across country. Mounted on 2dr 2018 Jeep Rubicon using Mopar 82215387 Removable Roof Racks. Racks held tight and were easy to install and lock down SUPs. Only issue I see is that it makes dents in SUP where the strap is used. I will look for some larger stiff plastic to distribute the weight from the straps.

I like the simplicity of the Thule SUP Taxi XT. It take about 2 min to install the sup and your ready to go.

Easy to install on top of a pair of Thule cross bars. Functional because it comfortably holds two SUP’s. It’s U shape extends to fit the width of the board and the secure belt is long enough to complement the height of one or two SUP’s. I will attempt to fit surfboards in due course, it shouldn't be a challenge. We are happy with the paddling taxi.

I think this product is excellent, it’s so quick & easy to use. I always use bow & stern ties as an extra peace of mind as I have an epoxy paddle board & inflatable which is 14 foot long. Well worth the money in time saved. The only downside is it’s not very streamlined for use without the boards but can be removed in a few minutes.

Excellent pour transporter un à deux SUP.

Well made carries variety of windsurfer or sup boards, bulky but very good, probably many cheaper ways to transport kit, used on my motor home, pleased I bought it.
