Default Surfboard spoiler

Drove to the beach with the surfboard strapped into the passenger side... (got caught in rain on way to work a little )

I thought it would be horrific for the handling and stability. However the rear end was noticeably more stable and planted above 60... I was shocked.


I really liked the feeling, are there any options for spoilers that would provide similar downforce and planted feeling?? within reasonable budget?

Looks cool with a surfboard riding shotgun

However, I went to a friends house before going to a meet with fold up beach chairs in the front seat and i felt like a complete idiot

A duckbill spoiler might have similar effects, but I doubt it. Haven't seen anything like that concept before...would be interesting to see the aero properties it would provide.

Hurricane Leslie is churning up some good waves I'm guessing, have fun!

Where are you surfing out of, Manasquan?

A wing mounted above the roof line will give you the same aero benefits as your surf board. Check out the racing forum.
