Default Snowboard Rack (of any Type)?

I know it's too early since Summer has just begun... But is there ANY type of snowboard rack for our cars? A passenger occupies the other seat so I can't use it, although without the passenger it's highly possible and many will vouch for it.



I has searched before and came up short...That was several months ago so things may have changed. I was thinking of either a "bike-rack" type design or one for an OEM hard top.



*Please move this in the appropriate if necessary.

There are lots of people who have bike racks on their S2000 (well maybe not a lot). If you're only going to be carrying a snowboard(s), you can probably get something mounted on the trunk that won't damage anything. You do have to be careful where the rack touches the paint though.

There are quite a few hitch mounts from Yakima/Thule/etc that can carry bikes and boards/skis. They are going to run you quite a bit more since you need the hitch + the rack.

Personally, I have a Chase Race hitch + a Thule T2 bike carrier. Works well with almost any bike, even the heavy downhill bike I lug around.

I have a hardtop, but you have to remember that the hardtop doesn't really have any "rigid structure" to it. Any rack system would probably make the top buckle a bit in the aluminum. Probably not worth it to mess up a $3K top.

Here's my setup for the bike. Probably the safest you can really get with a rack on an S2000.
