Default snowboard racks?

Is there such a thing as a snowboard rack for the 2003 350z?

The board would probably fit in the back, although I don't think the Z would do too well driving to a ski resort.

Anyway what kind of board ya got???

there is no way you can put a board in the back..i have a 161cm long board..
i made it barely fit..but the board was like by my head..and it was uncomfortable to drive..plus you have to take the bidings off..its a pain in the ***..id like to see a rack as well..one for a snowboard of course..;P

I was going to say some guys fit theirs in the back. But that depends on the size.

I cant wait to go Boardin again. I haven't been for a year It sucks when you have a 13 foot trying to fit it on a board. 163 wide for me...

Question for the ones better than me... Would it be better to go down in board size or up?

Thanks

Chris

I have a size 12 foot, so yeah I feel your pain, needing a wide board really limits your options. As far as changing the size of your board as you become more experienced, it's all up to you. It depends heavily on what type of riding you will be doing the most and what you prefer. I've been snowboarding for 8 years (I'm 19 now) and I use a 168cm. If you become a park junkie and always look for a good jump, you would want to get a shorter board with a lot of flex. If you want to freeride, go fast, and hold an edge really good, longer is the way to go.

Here are a couple sites:http://www.classiccarrier.com/ and http://www.birdautomotive.com/Bike%2...san%20350Z.htm
Also, I remember a thread of some members talking about the maximum size of a snow board that they could fit inside and the caution needed to get it in. You should be able to find it through the search. It was since January '07.

Thumbs up www.classiccarrier.com

Thanks Again

This is why I kept my SUV as and everyday ride. I am into too much crap to only have a Z. Thule mountain bike racks would make me barf if I saw them on a Z.
