Paddle boards and boats are perfect together, except when your board takes up all your deck. A rack solves this by neatly storing your SUP.<\/p>\n\n\nmagma storage rack 1jpg\n<\/a>\n\n\n

I tested six racks and rated the Magma Products storage rack<\/a><\/strong> as the best overall.<\/strong> It is durable stainless steel, and when not in use, it neatly folds flat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I frequently use my boat to reach further away SUP spots. We also like to take the family and our boards away from the crowds. Without a rack, we\u2019d never have enough room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Magma Products SUP racks are easy to adjust, and the holding arms are well padded to protect your precious cargo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not every boat is the same. I\u2019m also going to show you six other racks, including one that is ideal for angled stanchions and one that is the perfect choice for pontoon boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading, and I\u2019ll show you the best paddle board rack for your boat.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Best Paddle Board Racks for Boats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are the six best paddle board racks for your boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Magma Products Storage Rack – Best Overall<\/h3>\n\n\nmagma storage rack 2jpg\n<\/a>\n\n\n

My choice for the best overall rack<\/a> for a boat is made from 304-grade marine stainless steel<\/strong>. The arms feel particularly strong, and you can be sure they won\u2019t corrode. The four fixing clamps fit vertical or diagonal round tubing <\/strong>between \u215e and 1 \u00bd-inches in diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can fit and adjust this rack without needing any tools<\/strong>. You just need to set the clamps to fit and tighten with the quick-release knobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The extremely strong adjustable arms will comfortably hold two paddle boards <\/strong>or a full-size kayak. They are padded with UV-resistant EVA foam lining. Stainless steel D-rings make it easy to secure your SUPs with bungee. The cords themselves aren\u2019t included, but that means you can get ones that fit precisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. SurfStow Transport SUPRax – Best for Fitting to Angled Stanchions<\/h3>\n\n\nsurfstow transport suprax 1\n<\/a>\n\n\n

Our next rack<\/a> is best if you need to fit it to angled stanchions. The unique rotating clamps are individually adjustable<\/strong> to different angles. They are easy to install onto \u215e, 1 or 1 \u00bc-inch diameter round tubing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rack is made from polished, anodized aluminum<\/strong> alloy,<\/strong> which is light and rustproof. There is heat-pressed, die-cut EVA foam on all the contact surfaces to cushion your board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep a single SUP in place, there is a heavy-duty shock cord loop <\/strong>that I found easy to use. It simply stretches over the board and hooks onto the built-in receiver knob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
