Manta Racks S2 – Paddleboard Storage Rack for Boats

S2 Paddleboard Rack System For Your Boat

Taking your paddleboards out on your boat enhances your boating experience. But every adventurer needs a dedicated storage rack for their boards. Without one, your only option is to throw your expensive paddleboards on the floor of your boat and hope for the best. This can scuff and damage your costly investments. Also, the boards clutter up your space, shift around, and increase the risk of the passengers getting hurt. 

Our S2 paddleboard racks are the perfect solution for your boat. This handy piece of equipment can transport and store 2 paddleboards or 4 surfboards, freeing up space. So grab a friend and head out on a SUP excursion or fish the backcountry. This SUP rack system has nothing to do with your rail configuration or tower; no horizontal rails, or straight rails – all you need is your fishing rod holders. 

If your boat already features quality, through-bolted, reinforced fishing holders, you’re good to go. This rack system requires no installation. Like our other racks, the S2 Rack System rotates and locks every 22 ½ degrees, keeping your SUPs parallel with your boat’s gunwale.

As a proud American company, we manufacture all of our products in the USA. This rack is suitable for use on various types of vessels, such as center console boats, walk-around boats, and yacht tenders.

Peak Stability During High Speeds: Designed to keep boards 100% secure even at high boat speeds, this rack minimizes movement and vibration, so your boards stay in place and free from damage during travel.

Hassle-Free & Dependable: Designed to slide into reinforced rod holders with no complex installation. Constructed from robust, powder-coated aluminum, Stainless Steel hardware, and starboard, they withstand challenging open water conditions, providing a safer and more organized deck space.

Aesthetic Appeal: We offer a choice of finishes and pad colors, including Aqua Camo, Snow Camo, and Teak, to enhance the visual appeal of your boat while maintaining functionality.

No Permanent Installation Required. These paddleboard racks for your boat slide into flush-mounted reinforced rod holders on the gunwale of your boat. No installation is required. Constructed from powder-coated aluminum, they’ll endure the harsh conditions of the open water. With the S2 Rack System, you’ll avoid potential damage or injury caused by haphazard storage on the boat’s floor by storing your SUPs and surfboards in the rack “arm” called the S2.

Created for and by Boat Enthusiasts. Manta Racks is our response to the need to safely and securely transport paddleboards on our boat. Again, we designed our rack systems to slide into the fishing rod holders installed on your pontoon boat or center console boat. We recognized the lack of suitable paddleboard racks for boats and seized the opportunity to fix our problem and develop a new product. Since then, we’ve continued to improve.

Will Your Rod Holder Work With This Rack? To order the right rack mounts, measure the angle of your rod holder. And don’t worry – measuring is easy with a handy app called the Angle Meter.

How to Measure Rod Holder Angles For Your S2

Insert a gaff or mop handle (or other straight object) into the rod holder, open the app, and follow the instructions to get your measurement. Make sure to measure both of the rod holders you plan to use, as they may not be the same angle.

Keep in mind that the two-rod holders should be reinforced and spaced 24″ to 48″ apart, and your boards should sit directly on top of the racks’ padding.
