S2 Paddleboard Rack System For Your Boat
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. Also, the boards clutter up your space, shift around, and increase the risk of the passengers getting hurt.
Our S2 paddleboard racks are the perfect solution for your boat. This handy piece of equipment can transport and store 2 paddleboards or 4 surfboards, freeing up space. So grab a friend and head out on a SUP excursion or fish the backcountry. This SUP rack system has nothing to do with your rail configuration or tower; no horizontal rails, or straight rails – all you need is your fishing rod holders.
If your boat already features quality, through-bolted, reinforced fishing holders, you’re good. This rack system requires no installation. Like our other racks, the S2 Rack System rotates and locks every 22 ½ degrees, keeping your SUP’s parallel with your boat’s gunwale.

No Permanent Installation Required. These paddleboard racks for your boat slide into flush-mounted reinforced rod holders on the gunwale of your boat. No installation is required. Constructed from powder-coated aluminum, they’ll endure the harsh conditions of the open water. With the S2 Rack System, you’ll avoid potential damage or injury caused by haphazard storage on the boat’s floor by storing your SUPs and surfboards in the rack “arm” called the S2.
Created for and by Boat Enthusiasts. Manta Racks is our response to the need to safely and securely transport paddleboards on our boat. Again, we designed our rack systems to slide into the fishing rod holders installed on your pontoon boat or center console boat. We recognized the lack of suitable paddleboard racks for boats and seized the opportunity to fix our problem and develop a new product. Since then, we’ve only continued to improve.

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:
How to Measure Rod Holder Angles For Your S2
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.
