Headed to costa and looking for solution to carry 2 boards on a bike. One long board and 1 7 foot. Would this support 2 boards if using the sup version with the bigger gap or would i rewuire 1 rack on either side. Also does wxhaist pipe heat damage these at all (melt)+ Show Answer
Adding the optional SUP arms on this surfboard moped & motorcycle rack enables you to be able to carry 2 surfboards.
However, please take into consideration that the inside gap of the SUP arms is 6". So depending on the thickness of those surfboards in question as well as each board's entry and exit rockers can largely play as factors.
One way to judge compatibility is to align where you would install each mounting tube on the bike, then align these areas with where the estimated contact points of the boards are.
Then measure the gap (top and bottom) of the boards while they're stacked to see if they would fit within that 6" limitation.
For your alternative mounting approach: We have heard of customers using 2 racks installed - one on each side successfully, but can't recommend it personally as we've never tried.
There is also the increased safety concerns with being locked in and surrounded with two boards that should be taken into consideration, and factor where this setup is planned to be used. We've been to Costa Rica a couple of times and mostly it's pretty chill dirt roads that get you to the surf, but there are also heavily trafficked areas that should be of concern also.
As for exhaust pipe heat damage we haven't heard of any issues pertaining to these, but we do recommend using your best judgement and also try to install the surf rack on the opposite side of the exhaust pipe if possible. -

I want something like this to carry a tall beach chair. Once you have the mount on your seat post can you easily remove and reconnect the hooks so they are only on when needed. I don't want to have to remove the seat post connector each time.
The hooks that are used as carriers on this rack easily remove with a simple pushpin locking mechanism. So when you're ready to use the rack for storage the hooks simply slide in and lock within seconds, and just as easily removed when not in use. When the hooks are uninstalled there is very little hanging off the bike. There will be no need to install/remove the seat post connector each time.

Hey Guys, Do I need 2 at $119 for one board or is that the price for one complete rack for a board? Thanks, Garry
The purchase price of this rack is for a full set that will hold 1 surfboard.

I have a Badfish IRS (inflatable river surfer) it is 5” thick and 33” wide, will this mount work? Riding a Yamaha Zuma 125 for shuttles to the river.
For that board I would go with the SUP version of the rack instead:
https://www.epicsurfracks.com/Bike/Bike-Mopeds-Motorcycle/SUP-MOPED-RACK
This rack has larger arms that would be more suitable for the thicker board you want to use.
As for mounting options as long as you have a luggage rack (preferably front & rear) you should be good to go. Let us know if you have any other questions

Can you please send me information and pictures on the attachment points? I would like to order this ASAP but need to know if they will fit on my motorcycle first. Thank you.+ Show Answer
There is a picture of them in the photo catalog at the top of the page Here.
They are traditional C-clamps that lock around any round tube. -

Hi, I have a Yamaha SR 400 with a small rack on the back. There's no rack on the front. Would the dual-mount rack work on that bike? I mean, if I can't find a place to put it on the front I could just mount both bars to the rear rack, right? Or would it be better to go for the single-mount moped rack? I'll be transporting boards of 6'6" up to about 7'6" but it's possible I'll throw a 9' log on there once in a while.
Great question!
The dual-mount version of that Surfboard Moped rack should work great for that rear rack, and in most cases will work better than the single-mount version for what you're using it for, as you can spread the mount points out further across the rack.
The more you can get the mount points spread out the more stable the transported board will be. This is especially true for that 7'6" and more so for the 9' log. The front rack isn't necessarily required but is obviously a plus when transporting the bigger boards.

Will you provide a list of the Mini Motorcycles, Motorcycles, and e-Bikes your Longboard racks install on?+ Show Answer
Unfortunately, that list would be exhaustive, and beyond our current capacity.
However, if you have a bike or two (along with the size and types of boards intended to carry) that you have in mind we can make a recommendation that should work for your needs. Simply email us at info@epicsurfracks.com -
My son (6’4) is learning to surf and uses a 9’3 foam top/composite bottom board. He’s moving to the North Shore of Hawaii for school and we’re considering helping him get a moped and mount. 1) would your mount work with a board of that size? 2) any recommendations on moped makes or models?+ Show Answer
Yes, our Dual-Mount Moped Rack is compatible with longboards (and will easily hold your son's foamie), if spreading the mount-points of the rack to the front and rear of the vehicle.
For mopeds, we're not experts in this area unfortunately. However, we've heard a lot of good things from our customers surrounding the Honda Ruckus.
That said e-bikes have really been more popular in the more recent past, and our E-Bike Surfboard Racks will work on a variety of electric bike applications. For more information on that and the various mount-points you can check under the "Description" area for a short guide on the various mount options available. -
Can the front rack attack to a bar that has a diameter of 3.5 inches? And can the back rack attach to a bar that has a diameter of 3 inches?+ Show Answer
This moped rack comes with 3 (sets) of different sized clamps. The largest can accommodate a tube of up to 1" in diameter, so it will likely be too small for your specific application. These clamps are designed to bolt directly up to the rear luggage racks (and possibly front if you are looking to transport Longboards or Stand Up Paddle Boards.)
If this is not possible for your setup you may want to look under the "Description" area found on our E-Bike Page, this will show some examples of all the various mounting options we have that may work for your needs. Otherwise, you may need to look into a custom application. -
Is this installable with the double arm for longboarding on a sym moped? I cant seem to see how you insert it to the front of the moped?+ Show Answer
You'd likely need a front luggage rack to mount up to for that moped. I don't see one from the manufacturer so they might have one via the aftermarket.
-
Do you recommend this for 7 ' boards+ Show Answer
Yes, this rack can hold most boards that size. If you have a thicker board (like an SUP) I'd opt for the additional SUP arms as well.

Will this rack work on a Honda gb350 ?+ Show Answer
Typically, you'd need a luggage rack to mount directly up to. However, I'm seeing some photos of a rear handle bar for that particular model. You might find success mounting there, if the outer diameter of that grip is 1 inch or below, as with this kit are three sized c-clamps used to mounting to roundtube:
Included mounting options (2 pairs of each):
- Small C-Clamp: 0.25" - 0.5" (6mm-13mm)
- Medium C-Clamp: 0.5" - 0.75" (13mm-19mm)
- Large C-Clamp: 0.75" - 1.0" (19mm-26mm)
-
Would this work for a Surron electric dirt bike?+ Show Answer
That looks to be a tricky bike to mount up to.
You might find success mounting to the sub-frame below the seat area, but the C-clamps are really designed to be mounted to round tube, which that sub-frame doesn't appear to be. If this is the case, a custom mount might be needed to created/fabricated. -
Hey! I’m about to buy a 2023 Honda Navi. I want to carry my 9’ Wave Storm MAXX SSR (108”L x 29.6” W x 4.4” Thick) Question: Do you sell a Rack that fits a 2023 Honda Navi and the Wave Storm Blade I have? Does the Rack come with instructions? Is there Tech Support number to call? Regards TJ+ Show Answer
We should have a rack that fits that bike, however mounting might be tricky depending on what luggage rack comes on your specific bike. Ideally, you'll want a front luggage rack mounted as well (to spread out that 9 foot board as much as possible, providing the most stability)
If you could send some pics of your actual bike when you get it, and potential mount-points I can give you a more definitive answer. A lot of times customers have to find an aftermarket luggage rack for the front, when there is no OEM version available.
As far as instruction, yes all instructions will be provided with each rack kit.
Customer Reviews
Fits perfectly on my motorbike. Product of great quality. Light but strong materials. Easy to mount. Perfect for all board sizes.
In my case I had to adapt the frame of my motorbike in the front as there was no support in the front to make it fit.
10/10 would recommend.
These are, in my opinion, better designed and engineered when compared to the typical scooter surf racks for sale. I bought less expensive racks that attach with a plate that sandwiches your existing scooter cargo racks when attached, but returned them. I did have to do a little head scratching in order to figure out where to attach these, my motorcycle, Honda Trail 125, doesn’t have many round tubes in the ideal locations. I didn’t use the tube clamps for the rear rack, I was able to attach them to the underside of my cargo rack by screwing in the M6 bolts directly through pre-drilled holes in the cargo rack. I could have attached to the top side, but the I wouldn’t be able to use my milk crate storage. The front rack attaches to an add on cargo rack that didn’t come with the motorcycle. So far so good, fun trips to the beach!
Easy to install. Also super easy to remove the bars. Fits my 9’6 on a Zuma125 no problem.
