Default thule 554xt surfboard rack has straps made from strong nylon webbing

You're better off going with the Thule 554XT hang-two surfboard rack for longer lasting durability. The straps on the Thule 554Xt are made of a strong nylon webbing as opposed to the cords on the Yakima Strap Thang surfboard rack which which do wear out if used often. Also the Thule 554Xt has cradles built in so the surfboards rest on those instead of the crossbars, so no need to use a set of crossbar pads or anything. You'll need to attachtwo sets of the 554XT to the Yakima crossbars for carrying 3-4 surfboards (each 554Xt can holds up to 2 surfboards).
