It certainly ought to. I purchased mine and was able to transport an 11'6" and a 10'6" with ease. I had enough strap/tie to cover both of them. To avoid dings caused by high-speed driving vibration, place a towel and/or thin foam between the boards. Even better if you've got a surf sock.
Baja is simply a more straightforward and less perplexing method of sinching. Fiberglass boards have a lower risk of being damaged.
They don't ratchet; instead, they pull tightly, making it difficult to harm anything. I use them to secure boogie boards and surfboards, and they're fantastic.
They should be able to wrap around your racks, depending on the width and thickness of the racks.
Selected User Reviews For DaKine Long Aero Rack Pads with 12' Tie Down Straps - Black
The product was falsely advertised as a Dakine product, when in fact it was a Dorsal product. I was extremely disappointed, especially since it arrived a week late. The seller has not responded to my requests for shipping updates or information about the advertised product.
The velcro on the racks gave way the first time I used them, so I'm very disappointed with this brand. I was driving on the freeway, but I made sure I wasn't speeding by staying in the far right lane, which is where you should go if you want to drive slowly. Suddenly, the board flies away from my vehicle. I lost $800 in total due to the racks and board. Because I was in such a state of shock, I had to pull over to the side and stay there for about ten minutes to calm down. That was the only time I got to use that board.
These straps aren't cheap. If you're a Walmart shopper, you're probably thinking, "No way, I can get the same thing for $7 at Harbor Freight. " These are the best pull straps I've ever had, and I'm a pull strap connoisseur. They're thick and easy to fish through a cargo basket or over your paddle board, and the grip is also impressive.

These are an excellent match for my ALAVENTE Roof Rack Cross Bar. With these, I've strapped down two stand up paddleboards and driven for several hours at speeds exceeding 80 mph without even a wiggle. Excellent tie downs that are incredibly simple to operate.
It used to take ten minutes. The straps/board vibrated annoyingly loudly over 40mph after 12 minutes of use with ratchet straps with hooks and no pads. Thank you very much, DaKine. In less than 5 minutes in the scorching sun, I had a secure board with no vibration. I will be eternally grateful!.
I used these on top of my room because I didn't have a roof rack. I completed the task and kept the board in place. To keep the board from vibrating, I had to fiddle with the spacing a bit, but once that was done, everything was fine.
Some of the reviews made me hesitant at first, but after using it, I strongly recommend it. It is extremely effective at holding the bored down. When going over 30 mph, it makes a lot of noise, but I drove 70 mph for about an hour and the board didn't move. I read that taping the straps down on top helps with sound, but I'm not sure how well that works. In any case, they're excellent value for money!.
All year long, it screams Surfer! The first set hasn't faded or aged two years later, and I needed another because I now carry more surfboards than I used to. The Baja strap system works perfectly and screams "I'm cooler than you!" all year long!.
