Manta Racks S1 – Paddleboard Storage Rack for Boats

$599.00

Transports 1 Paddleboard, 2 Surfboards, or 1 Foil Board

The S1 secures, organizes, and transports 1 paddleboard, a stack of 2 surfboards, or 1 foilboard. This SUP boat rack system includes two racks and fits perfectly into quality, through-bolted, reinforced fishing rod holders.  The optimal distance between the two rod holders should be 24″ to 48″.

If a rod holder is installed at an angle our system rotates and locks every 22 1/2 degrees so the rack system is parallel with your boats gunwale.

Be sure to measure the angle of your rod holder to make sure you order the correct rack system (it’s easier than it sounds, just use the app below!).  A 15° rod holder will not work with a 30° Manta Racks product.

Use this app to properly measure your current rod holder:

3 Simple steps to measure your rod holder:

  1. Once you’ve downloaded the Angle Meter App to your smartphone, insert a fishing pole (or other straight object, i.e. mop handle) into the rod holders you plan to use for the racks.
  2. With the Angle Meter App opened, place your phone against the pole in the first rod holder and follow the App’s instructions.  The angle will be either a 0, 15, or 30-degree angle.  The App’s results may display the difference between the angle and 90 degrees.  For instance, 60 degrees would be a 30-degree rod holder.
  3. Repeat this process on the second rod holder you plan to use.  Measure both rod holders you plan to use, because they may NOT be the same angles.   We recommend that the two rod holders to be used must be reinforced and should be spaced 24″ to 48″ apart.  Your paddle boards should sit directly on top of the SUP racks’ padding (on the rack arms).

Don’t hesitate to call with any questions about this process!  1-888-622-0225

Product Description

Manta Racks S1 - Paddleboard Storage Rack for Boats

Benefits of S1 Paddleboard Racks for Your Boat

Crafted With Top-Quality Materials. These SUP racks boast superior craftsmanship, ensuring longevity for your racks and boards. Proudly made in the USA, we prioritize quality in every aspect of production. Our paddleboard racks work for various vessels; big boats, small ones, center console boats, walk-around consoles, and yacht tenders. Additionally, the integrated bungee strap is super resilient, securing paddleboards and paddles, and preventing displacement. Our racks are designed to fit securely, not on the railing like some racks, but in your fishing rod holders. This makes SUP storage simpler and easier than ever.

Super-Simple Installation. Our paddleboard rack requires no installation, seamlessly sliding into your boat fishing rod holders. That saves you the hassle (and expense) of complex mounting hardware. Constructed from salt-sealed, powder-coated aluminum and stainless steel hardware, it’s built to withstand the challenges of open water. Don’t risk damaging your valuable paddleboards (or boat or passengers) by leaving them on the deck! Transport them safely and securely with the S1. These racks can also be mounted on a dock with our Dock & Wall Mounts, showcasing their versatility. Built-in storage for paddles ensures everything is kept in place, and this design simplifies the stowing process, making it easy to manage your paddleboards.

Engineered for Demand. Manta Racks emerged from the need for efficient stand-up paddleboard transportation on boats. While racks existed for cars, boat owners lacked quality options. So we created the best paddleboard storage solution we could manage. Since 2015, we’ve continuously improved our racks into the top-tier products they are today.

Compatible With Quality Rod Holders. Our S1 SUP rack effortlessly fits into reinforced fishing rod holders on your boat’s gunwales. Slide the S1 rack into your fishing rod holder for an easy attachment. Before purchasing, ensure compatibility by measuring the angle of your rod holders. This task is as easy as it gets with the Angle Meter app, available for free on Android or Apple devices. You’re searching for the best paddle board rack. For boat owners with SUPs, this rack is (to the best of our knowledge) the very top shelf.

How To Measure Rod Holders

How To Measure Rod Holders

 

Video transcript:

One of the most asked questions when ordering racks from MantaRacks.com is:

How do I determine the angle of the rod holder in my boat?

In this video, we’re going to show you how.

Standard Rod Holder Angles

There are only three angles in the boating industry:

  • 0 degrees
  • 15 degrees
  • 30 degrees

Most center consoles and dual consoles use either 15-degree or 30-degree rod holders or a combination of both.

Measuring the Rod Holder Angle

  1. Use a Smartphone Angle Meter

    • Your smartphone probably has an angle meter app.
    • If not, you can download one from the app store (see below).
  2. Insert a Handle into the Rod Holder; a:

    • Mop handle
    • Gaff handle
    • Or any thick-handled device
    • Insert it into your rod holder.
  3. Take the Measurement

    • Open your angle meter app and position your phone on the side of the handle.
  4. Interpret the Reading

    • Remember, the angle can only be 0, 15, or 30 degrees.
    • A right angle is 90 degrees, so:
      • If you’re getting a reading of 60 degrees, that’s a 30-degree rod holder.

Ordering Your Manta Racks System

If you’re ordering an S1, S2, L2K, or FM rack, we’ll need the angle of two of the rod holders that you plan to use with our system.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to give us a call!

Great product, worth the money!!

My wife and I love our Manta Rack!! It keeps her board safe and secure while traveling across the Bay and gulf, even in choppy water!! We recommend this product to everyone and anyone who asks. Customer service was great and shipping was quick. Albeit a little pricey, when you spend a lot on your board you definitely want this Product to protect it! So worth it! Thank you so much for making a terrific product! There are photos posted on Google if you need some!

Great Product

We used our new S1 racks for the first time this weekend and they were great! I had originally seen the design online and thought I could build something similar on my own. However, I settled on purchasing the Manta Racks and couldn’t be happier. Customer service was great, and the racks themselves are extremely well designed and built. After upgrading my rod holders, we used them to mothership my Kaku Voodoo (13’ long, 35” wide, 80#) into the Everglades aboard our bay boat. The racks handled her well through a light chop and two teenagers! Great product!
