What are Bike Surfboard Rack Air Pads, and Why Do You Need Them?
Bike surfboard rack air pads by Gnarly Padz is your bike surfboard rack’s first patent-pending air inflation system. You no longer need to use a bungee cord that snaps, wears down, or hangs off your bike. Do you no longer need a surf bag to protect your surfboard from bumping around within your bike surfboard bike rack?
Gnarly Padz comes in a set of two inflatable airbags. Once installed within each rack, you inflate that Gnarly Padz until there is a firm grip, ensuring your surfboard is safe and secure while riding your bike.
With Gnarly Padz, You Can Protect and Secure Your Surfboard While Riding Your Bike.
Our new patent-pending Gnarly Padz offers a simple-to-use solution to protect and secure your surfboard while riding your bike.
Once installed inside your bike surfboard rack, you can inflate your Gnarly Padz so your surfboard tightly grips the inside of your rack.
When you’re ready to surf, you let a bit of air out of the air pressure release valve, and your board can slip right out, and you’re ready to surf.

Tips for Maintaining and Extending the Lifespan of Your Bike Surfboard Rack Air Pads
Like anything, salt eats everything. To extend the marine vinyl, rubber, and plastic, it is recommended for a quick freshwater wipe down.
Safer and Better Protected Bike Ride
I know when I’m riding my bike with a bungee cord set up. Your surfboard isn’t well in place. With e-bikes going at the speed that they go, it is dangerous to have any size surfboard not fully protected and secured while riding your bike.
When Gnalry Padz is inflated, your surfboard is secured within your longboard bicycle rack or shortboard bicycle rack. Our Gnalry Padz has up to 300 pounds of force. This will ensure that your longboard bicycle rack air pads properly secure your surfboard from bumping inside your rack.
