I doubt they sell this low quality product to people of Sweden

I purchased my Thule SUP taxi in 2016 and up until now (9 years later). It has never given me any grief, helps my boards secure and protected from theft if I decide to stop for a bite after a paddle. I have used it on many road trips and 80+ mph on the highway (I live in Texas, our toll speed limit is 80), however I try to stick around 70 at most. No issues with rubber wearing it coming off. It's adjustable to fit your specific board (this is important to take the time to line up the carrier with your boards specific measurements for a secure fit. It has been garage kept so that likely contributed to its longevity and current condition. Def has a few hundred bug splatters, but still looks great. I recently purchased a 4Runner and unfortunately the Thule is too tall to fit it in my garage so I had to change to a lower profile carrier, otherwise I would still be using it. Highly recommend!

This is the second SUP Taxi I have bought and with both rack systems the rubber pads that the boards rest on have broken off, and with my newest one, the pads are black and the black rubber melts off onto my boards. Not to mention it makes the boards hard as hell to get off the rack, they stick to my deck pads causing damage to my deck pads also. The rubber pads have broken off my system and now I can’t even replace them.

Very nice quality . Works great for a longboard surfboard

As usual, the high quality, ease of installation and flawless function I’ve come to appreciate from Thule. Always impressed that things show up several days BEFORE the anticipated delivery date. They’ve earned a life long customer. They’ll be my first stop for anything recreational!!

I’m so stoked to take my SUP with me! My locking SUP taxi gives me the confidence to travel with my board knowing it’s secure.

I read some negative reviews about the SUP Taxi on this site while researching before I bought, and I’m very surprised that so many people struggled with using it. It’s easy to setup and secure my two SUPs. The directions were helpful but the YouTube videos from Rack Attack are what convinced me. I drove up and bought it from Tack Attack Boston. It took me about 20 minutes to install and takes me about a minute to secure my two 11-foot SUPs. I highly recommend this product. Don’t believe the negative reviews.

Easy to install and holds my two inflatable SUPs perfect. Quick and easy to load and unload the boards on top of my Subaru Wilderness Outback.

Install was simple. Solid attachment. Easy to setup and secure 2 paddleboards. No issues driving at highway speeds.

Received product within days. I’ve used it to carry 2 sups and it works perfectly mounted on our 2019 Honda hrv. At 100km/hr, we barely noticed any difference while driving. The instructions should mention that the 3rd blank key is for installing the locks, so that part was a pain. Now that it’s all set up, I’m very satisfied with the functionality and ease of use of our Thule SUP Taxi XT. Thank you!!

I'm glad they provided an opportunity to review because to keep your sanity you will need it. There are several steps the "instructions" do not cover and it will take your best McGyver or Sherlock Holmes impression to figure out. It involves the keys and the straps. Can't wait to actually try to attach a surfboard. I might go study engineering at MIT first.

I've been using the Thule SUP Taxi now for a few months. It's easy to put on, and works so well. I feel so confident driving with my paddle board on the roof of my car on the highway and love being able to take my paddleboard all over FL.

This product is very durable and easy to install. However, if you are using this to carry anything less than a big longboard, it is not secure. I have a 7'6 surfboard and I could not get the straps tight enough to secure the board in place. I do not recommend getting this unless you have a board that is thick or are transporting multiple boards.

So there were a lot of mixed reviews I read on here and other sites about feeding the straps through in order to secure the boards but I was nervous to try cheaper products and I needed a taxi for two boards. The more recent reviews were better than the original. I traveled about 100 miles with the boards on the carrier and they didn't move at all and I have larger paddle boards. We had no issues with the straps except for when I actually took the boards off and ran the straps back through the carrier to secure them, it was a little tougher then but I was able to get it within three tries. My take aways though for other buyers. The directions are horrible! The last page shows an image that I had no idea what it was and I had called Thule and it took 3 people to finally figure out that it's an outline of a blanket that you can use provide and use to cushion between the two boards. Also, this is my first Thule product and I had no idea about the locking bolts and that you have to use the master key in order to insert them and remove them. Would have been nice to have that listed in the directions. I found a video on youtube for a totally different product that helped me with this. There's also two black caps that come with the product and if you don't look closely, you'll miss where they come into play in the directions. I had watched a video from etrailer that goes over the setup of this product on youtube and watched it several times before I installed. Note they installed it backwards compared to Thules instructions but it gives you a good sense overall on how to install the product.
