Founder's Note
After one too many surf trips with boards face-down in the dirt or jammed inside the van, it hit me — there had to be a better way. Beach camping meant sand everywhere and expensive, fragile boards leaning against bumpers, in the dirt, or in the way - getting dinged, sand in the wax, or constantly moved around.
The SRF-CDY (Surf Caddy) Magnetic Rack was born from those weekends — a clean, quick, drill-free way to hang boards safely outside the rig. We needed it strong, fast to mount, and easy to stash. After testing up and down the California coast, we landed on a rack that works as hard as you do: sturdy, simple, and ready in seconds.
See you out there,

Product FAQs
Can I drive with the Magnetic Surfboard Rack attached?
No — it’s a violation of DOT regulations. The rack is designed for stationary use only, such as at your campsite or beach spot, to keep your boards off the sand and out of your van.
How much weight can it hold?
Each rack pair can securely hold up to 100 lbs when properly mounted on a clean steel surface.
What vehicles does it work with?
It works with any steel-bodied vehicle, including Sprinter, Transit, and ProMaster vans. Always double-check your vehicle with a magnet before ordering — newer F-150s and similar aluminum-bodied vehicles will not work.
What size boards fit?
The hook opening is 4 inches wide, making it ideal for most surfboards and many SUPs (as long as they’re under 4" thick).
Will it damage my vehicle?
The magnets are rubber-coated to protect your paint. However, it’s important that both the magnets and vehicle surface are clean and free of sand or debris before mounting. Dirt or grit between surfaces could cause minor scratches.
Can it hold shortboards too?
Yes! You can tilt the hook at an angle for a vertical shortboard lean or used as a pair of racks to hold the board horizontally.
