Taking your paddleboards out on your boat will enhance your boating experience. But every adventurer needs a dedicated storage rack for their boards. Without one, your only option is to throw your expensive paddleboards on the floor of your boat and hope for the best. This can scuff and damage your costly investments. Not to mention, the boards clutter up your space, shift around, and increase the risk of the passengers getting hurt.
Our S2 paddleboard rack system is the perfect solution for your boat. This handy piece of equipment can transport two paddleboards. So grab a friend and head out on a SUP excursion or fish the back country. If your boat already features quality, through-bolted, reinforced fishing holders, you are good to go. This rack system requires no installation. Like our other rack systems, the S2 Rack System rotates and locks every 22 ½ degrees keeping your SUP’s parallel with your boat’s gunwale.
Benefits of S2 Paddleboard Boat Racks
Superior craftsmanship. Our paddleboard boat rack systems are crafted with the highest quality materials to ensure long-lasting durability. As a proud American company, we manufacture all of our products in the USA. This rack is suitable for use on various types of vessels, such as center console boats, walk-around boats, and yacht tenders.
No permanent installation required. This paddleboard rack for your boat is designed to simply slide into flush mounted reinforced rod holders on the gunwale of your boat. No installation required. Constructed from powder-coated aluminum, it is built to endure the harsh conditions of the open water. With the S2 Rack System, you will avoid potential damage or injury caused by haphazard storage on the boat’s floor.
Created for and by boat enthusiasts. Manta Racks was created out of a need to safely and securely transport paddleboards on our boat. Our rack systems are designed to slide into the fishing rod holders, which are already installed on center console boats. We recognized the lack of a suitable paddleboard rack for boats and seized the opportunity to develop a new product. Since then, we’ve only continued to improve.
Will your rod holder work with this rack? To make sure you order the correct rack mounts, it’s important to measure the angle of your rod holder you plan to use. Not to worry, measuring is easy with a handy app called the Angle Meter. You can download it for free on your Android or Apple device.
How to Assemble Manta Racks S2 – Paddleboard Storage Rack for Boats
Manta Racks’ mission is to help boaters who love being on the water, to transport their water sports equipment safely, securely, and efficiently.
With that being said, you can expect your new wakeboard rack to be of top-quality craftsmanship, to work effectively, and look great at the same time! You can choose between a white or black finish, whichever you think will look best with your boat.
Need help? No problem! Ordering the correct rack mount angle may be confusing, so we created a video to help you. There is an app that you can download to help you measure the angle of the rod you plan on using! Whether you own an Apple or Android device, our app works for both! Just click to download:
Simply insert a gaff or mop handle (or other straight object) into the rod holder, open the app, and follow the instructions to get your measurement. Make sure to measure both of the rod holders you plan to use, as they may not be the same angle. Keep in mind that the two rod holders should be reinforced and spaced 24″ to 48″ apart, and your boards should sit directly on top of the racks’ padding.
These are a must have if you carry paddle boats on your boat. We have a 27’ center console and having these racks really free up space on our boat. They were super easy to install and extremely sturdy. I would highly recommend.
I really like my Manta racks! They are used to carry 2 large paddle boards on the back of our Sea Ray Sundancer 580. We were always fighting the boards trying to load them safely and securely. With the Manta Rack system the paddle boards are out of the way and sec
Great product, easy to use and securely holds both of my SUPs
Really have enjoyed using my Manta Racks. They fit securely in my rod holders and hold both of my Bote Inflatable SUPs very well. A little pricey but work very well.
Excellent product. We've used in/around Charleston SC as well as Lake Jocassee and the convenience of the racks have opened up our access to places we couldn't reach before. I highly recommend for anyone looking to expand their experience on the water.
