Larry,

Have you considered suspending them in the ceiling? I have a Westy, and have
always suspended the boards from the pop-top cross beams in front and the
rear overhead storage cabinet in back. Safe and secure. In a Wolfy, of
course, you would have to fabricate such a capability, and yes, risk
potentially dinging the interior.

SO, the alternative is the roof racks.  I'll bet one of the new improved
versions of the old Aloha racks will work.  Here's an example:

And, Yakima and Thule systems are viewable here:

Hello all,

Any surf-riding vanagon owners out there?  I'm looking for info on where I
could find a surf rack that will fit atop the vanagon if such a beast
exists, my interior is in good condition and I would like to keep it that
way (ie. no packing salty boards on the floor between the seats and dinging
the head liner trying to get said boards in and out of the van).

Thanks,
Larry Cortright
