Moved By Bikes (MBB) – Longboard or SUP – Surfboard Rack
€165.00
Our Longboard Racks mount right to your frame, making them super stable even with longboards and even stand up paddle boards (SUPs) up to about 25 lbs. The racks work great with shortboards too. The front mount is designed to secure right to your bike frame headtube, one of the strongest places on your frame. The rear mount can either be mounted to your seatpost, or a conventional rear cargo rack if you have one (the box comes with hardware to support both options).
Our longboard rack installation video gives you a full run down of the rack features and mounting options, give it a quick watch to see how the racks would fit on your bike!
Our racks are based on our patent pending quick release bars. The splined bar design means that a simple push button is all that is needed to secure the bars to the mounts on your frame. Just push a button to remove when you get home from your surf session. When you are ready to go again, just slide them back in till they click into place.
Stable Mounting in 3 configurations
The racks come in 3 versions: Longboard, Shortboard, and Moped. Choose the one that suits your needs. All racks are manufactured from aluminium and stainless steel to ensure that they won’t rust out on you in coastal environments. Hardware has been designed for maximum versatility to fit just about any bike, and to work with just about any surfboard. If you have question about how the racks might fit on your bike, send us a quick photo, we’re happy to check it out and advise on the best rack for your ride.
Using our Racks with SUPs
Our longboard racks are well suited for use with SUPs with the following limitations:
We recommend the racks for boards up to about 25 lbs. Heavier boards are hard to ride with off the side of the bike, and will exceed the load capacity of the bars.
SUPs are wide and you will need clearance under your handlebar. For the most part, this means you can only carry a SUP with a beach cruiser with a high rise set of cruiser bars.
The standard bar sets have just under 4 inches of clearance for your board. Many SUPs are in the 4-5 inch width range. The good news is that it is relatively easy to bend the lower U shaped portion of the bars open to fit wider SUPs
If you have an inflatable SUP, it is probably more like 6 inches thick. We offer a set of Replacement Lower Bars for use with Inflatable SUPs

Moved By Bikes
Surfing is so much better when you don’t have to drive to the beach! We were frustrated with the racks on the market, they lacked quick releases on the bars and were wobbly with long boards, and that’s how the MBB Surfboard Rack was born.

THERE ARE MANY ASPECTS TO SURFBOARD SELECTION THESE ARE THE POINTS TO CONSIDER
LENGTH
Typically surfboards are measured in inches. The length is measured from the nose to the tail. Choosing the length of the surfboard is dependant on your size (weight, height), board type and waves conditions you wish to use the board for.
WIDTH
The widest point of the surfboard is measured from rail to rail. Generally the wider the surfboard the more stable the board, while a board with smaller width maintains better speed and performance.
BOARD THICKNESS
Surfboard thickness is measured from the top deck to the bottom. The thickness again has a bearing on the board’s performance. Professional surfers will tend to go for the thinner boards as they are lighter and offer better performance.The thicker boards are stronger and because there is more foam under the surfer the boards are more stable.
ROCKER
The bottom curve of a surfboard. Generally the more rocker the surfboard has the more loose (manoeuvrable) the surfboard will be. Where the flatter rocker surfboards will be faster, although they will lack the looseness. The nose is the tip of the surfboard, the nose can vary in shapes and size. Basically the thinner the nose the more response the board will perform, while wider noses are better for stabilization.
STRINGER
Used to increase the strength of a surfboard, a stringer (normally made from wood) runs down the length of a surfboards (typically in the centre of the board from the tip of the nose to the tail).
Boards built with Epoxy, Carbon Fibre and soft boards generally don’t have stringers.
FINS
Generally heavier surfers require larger fins to hold the waves better. Although if you prefer to ride a looser (less hold in the waves), smaller fins would be a better option.
FIN CONSIDERATIONS
Fin configurations have an effect on the ways your surfboards perform.
The following are some of the more common fin configurations.
SINGLE FIN
The single fin was the original fin configuration for surfboards. Based on the idea of the sailboat keel. Single fins are added stabilization and control on the powerful, larger waves, although lack manoeuvrability
TWIN FIN
Are great for small waves, being fast and manoeuvrable, but when put into tight spots on larger waves, they become hard to control. Popular with Fish surfboards.
THRUSTER 3 FIN
Widely recognized as the standard fin configuration, the thruster answers the shortcomings of the single fin and the twin fins configurations.
The thrusters give you stabilization, control and manoeuvrability in all types of surfing conditions.
This concept was the brainchild of Australia’s Simon Anderson
QUADS 4 FINS
With four fins in the water, Quads boasts an extraordinary amount of holding power in larger surf.
You may think that having four fins would sacrifice speed by creating more drag, but this is not the case.
The both sets of fins are working together on the rail, which makers believe they creates less drag than a board with a centre fin.
The manoeuvrability isn’t sacrificed either, with fins directly under your back foot, the quads are very responsive.
KEEL
Similar setup to the Twin Fin, although smaller (low profile) fins are generally placed wider (closer to the rails) on the surfboard.
Popular with Fish and Egg / Retro surfboards.
