surfboard fit with the top up
i know this has been asked a few times before, but am trying to figure out what the biggest surfboard size is that i can fit in the s with the top up (hardtop). does anyone ride a board short enough to fit in their car? any suggestions on how to measure/estimate? i've borrowed a few boards from friends to "test" fitment but the smallest one i've tried is a 6'2 which won't fit. i'm looking at getting a 5'6 so i can resume my daily surf addiction but want to be sure that it will fit in the car before i drop cash on it. thanks!

have you tried taking out the passenger seat? not sure if that would provide any more clearance.

eric, whats up! 
i thought about taking out the passenger seat but people do ride in my car sometimes .. actually mostly it's my dog. i was thinking that if i take out the seat then there wouldn't be anything supporting the board either.. not sure if that would cause dings or damage. other option is to get a second car.. or trade in the s.. not something i want to do!

Correct me if I'm wrong cuz I know nothing about surfboards but I would imagine a 6'2 guy would use one easily larger than a snowboard. A snowboard does not fit so no way you can fit a surfboard.
I really think if you want to do these large scale sports you need another car man....
Try taking up Ping Pong or bowling or some other sport that does not require large items

If it were me, I'd just get the soft roof mounts and make it work on the trunk. Then just mount the board like a wing
