Thule taxi xt - Thule SUP Taxi XT Rack

I like it. It makes strapping down my paddle boards very easy. Since I was new to strapping boards to my roof, I wanted an extremely secure solution. I did initially have problems feeding the end of the strap on one side, but once I figured out the best angle, that hasn’t been a problem. But frankly I’m not sure the Thule is really necessary. I think sturdy straps and foam cushions (at a fraction of the cost) would be fine. Since we were paddle boarding a couple times a week, I’ve just left the Thule on. I believe having it on the rack, even with no boards, significantly reduces my gas mileage.
