When we strap our surfboard or kayak to the top of our car, the last thing we need are the crossbars dinging up our gear. Thule's soft, protective Surf Pads wrap around each compatible crossbar to prevent our board from slipping, bouncing, and getting banged up. Hook-and-loop points keep the pads secure, and the abrasion-resistant nylon cover won't be damaged by our board or boat, either.
