Sailors are familiar with the "lazy jack" - ropes permanently installed on the mast that save a lot of work when hauling in the sail. Here comes the "Lazy Rack" - the Yakima SUP Dawg roof rack with integrated, lockable and steel wire-reinforced straps.

With its wide claws, the roof rack grips far around the bars and is tightened with easy-grip wing screws. The straps run virtually inside and are firmly connected to the carrier on one side.

To load, the board (up to 92 cm wide) is placed on the soft rubber pads, the strap is thrown over once, the edge protection covers are pushed into position and then the strap is threaded into the integrated clamp. Pull tight, stow the remaining strap in the roof rack, lock if necessary - done!

It's really quick and easy. However, you have to load a little higher and we didn't check the anti-theft protection. However, we were able to check "empty runs" up to 130 km/h - fortunately, nothing whistled at all. The bracket can also be removed quickly at any time without tools. Two iSUPs fit under the harness.

The charging luxury costs 308 euros.
