== Update after much usage ===After using this for a while I like it even more. I timed it: It take 25 seconds to pull the board from my garage and get it loaded onto the rack. It takes 18 seconds to take it off the rack and put it away.I don't even bother putting my short board in my car any more. It's easier to just throw it on the rack.I've taken the rack off for a couple of road trips and it's about 2 minutes to put it back on the car.Some of the best money I've ever spent.== Original review ==* Easily mounted to my factory bars in a few minutes. Same mount as the ski rack I have from the same manufacturer. Way better than the Thule mount on my bike rack. Once it's set up there's no threading of anything. Just release a latch and it pops right off or back on. Simple, fast and secure. I'd like to buy a beer for the engineer who designed it.* Super simple usage. Throw the boards up there. Attach the loop. Crank it down.* Holds the boards more securely than straps and pads that I used before. There's no risk of the boards sliding side to side so you don't really have to crank down so hard on the boards. With the straps I always felt like I had to pull them super tight to keep my longboard from moving.* No more throwing straps over the car and running in circles.* I carry a big thick long board and a fun board. It would hold another board easily.* BONUS: Since the boards sit a bit higher off of the rails you gain a little more clearance if you have a tailgate. The tailgate of my FX 35 now goes up a bit more before hitting the board.This thing took the biggest pain about surfing and made it simple. Easily worth the money. Buy one.

One thing I hate most about surfing is scrambling around my Highlander trying to get the board strapped on the roof especially after a long surf session. With a long board I have to use the racks. Thule makes a decent surf solution but still wasn't exactly what I'm looking for. The Inno mount is a pretty great product. Easy to install and fits pretty well on my Highlander stock cross bars. It is so easy to get your board in and out of the rack and beats using straps any day. Also I frequently bring my board to work for a quick after work session and know I don't have to worry about my board getting stolen at all. As the other reviewers state the one small downside is you will hear some noise because its pretty tall but it doesn't bother me much. The greatest feature about the racks is the arm that keeps the strap up so you never have to get to the top of your vehicle. Just unlock the 2 locks, slide the board in from the back, crank them both down, lock and you're done. This saves me 5 minutes in and out of the water and for that alone the racks are worth it.

I purchased these surfboard racks from Amazon. The product itself looks nice, and it arrived quickly and was well packaged. However, the bolts that were included did not fit either of my car racks (Porsche Cayenne and Audi A3, both of which have OEM cross bars). The included bolts are approximately 3" or 3 1/2" long, and I need something like 4" or 4 1/2". After receiving the racks, I tried calling innoracks.com and emailing them, as well as trying the online fit guide. The online fit guide directed me to one of their "long bolt kits". I ordered this and it did not fit (the bolts had different ends so do not lock in, and in addition, were no longer than the original included bolts). I tried ordering yet a different long bolt kit. That one did not fit. (By the way, a trip to Home Depot was fruitless since standard 1/4" machine bolts do not fit either.) I have repeatedly tried calling their Torrance, CA customer service / technical support line but only get voicemail. These guys have absolutely no customer service. $200 in racks/bolts down the drain. I will try to sell this junk on craigslist and hope to get $50. Do yourself a favor - don't buy this - it's not worth the hassle. Just stick with regular straps. My gripe is not so much with the lack of fit of the racks (even though though product description states that it will fit virtually any factory cross bar), but is with total lack of response via phone or email over the course of 4 weeks from customer service.
