Paddle Board

Comments about Thule SUP Taxi Stand Up Paddleboard Carrier:

I purchased the Thule SUP Taxi a few weeks ago from REI. It installed quickly and seemed easy to use. Upon loading my board for the first time, I quickly learned there was a major flaw in the design. The pads that the board rests on are NOT secured to the rack and come off fairly easily causing you major grief in trying to get them back on while trying to hold your board!

I found this to be completely unacceptable. Within a week, one of the pads blew off while I was driving on the expressway. I contacted Thule and they were very aware of the problem as they have received many complaints and are already making changes to the next model. I suggest waiting for the new model to come out before purchasing. The pads are replaceable and are on back order currently. I am considering just returning the SUP Taxi as it will cause me nothing but grief. Thule offered to send me a replacement pad free of charge, but could not say when it would arrive.

Other than that major issue, it secures my board nicely and is very easy to use. If not for the pad problem, I would probably give it 5 stars. I think they should have tested this product out a little better. Looking forward to an improved version as Thule stated that the next models pads will be molded in.

Comments about Thule SUP Taxi Stand Up Paddleboard Carrier:

As an avid Paddleboarder I have tried many different approaches to carrying my SUPs. The Thule SUP Taxi is the best I've tried so far. It is very lightweight making it easy to set up and install. It is also a very stable rack. I usually transport 2 SUPs at a time and travel about 3 hours round trip on the freeway to get to the nearest beach and so far I haven't had any major wobbling yet. As mentioned in the other review the rubber pads that the SUPs rest on are pressed into the rack and are not part of the rack itself. This allows for them to come off from time to time (I've only had 1 come off so far)but adding a little super glue to the bottom and reinstalling them will solve this problem. All in all I give it 2 thumbs up.

Comments about Thule SUP Taxi Stand Up Paddleboard Carrier:

This system has cut down on our load-in/load-out times significantly, allowing us to enjoy more time on the water! It almost seems TOO easy to use--but it has not failed us yet. My husband and I are BIG FANS of this SUP rack system. We read that the grey pads come off easily--and that is the only bad thing we have heard so far. To remedy this, we used gorilla glue to secure the pads in place and they won't go ANYWHERE now. Problem solved. We are so thankful for this great SUP carrier and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves the sport as much as we do.
