Will surfboards fit in a truck bed?
I just moved to the beach and have been thinking about getting into surfing. I already know what board I want, but I don’t know how to transport it. Will a surfboard fit in a truck bed?

Surfing is a great way to get some exercise while having fun, just be sure that you don’t forget your sunscreen! As for moving your board, you can easily fit surfboards in a
pickup truck
bed. All you need is some padding, bungee cords, a few spring-loaded cam straps, and a colored flag. Once you have everything together, follow these simple steps:
- Cover the nose of your board with padding and place it against the cab of your truck
- Using the bungee cords, wrap the middle of the board and secure it to anchor points in the bed
- Lift the board and close the tailgate—use more padding when you rest the board on top of the tailgate
- Use the spring-loaded cam straps to secure the end of the board to the tailgate
- Tie your colored flag to the end of the surfboard that is hanging behind the truck
- Double-check your work before setting out
These steps should have you in the water and catching some waves in no time at all. However, if you plan on surfing regularly, consider picking up some additional
car insurance
to protect yourself as you drive to and from the beach. To know that you’re getting the best deals available on car insurance, download the Jerry
