Personally, I can only use one at a time. But, I had 7 boards strapped in the bow with 5 of us in the boat two weekends ago.

Well, I can fall over just looking at a surfboard, so I don't really have a need to carry one.

That's really a fantastic spread and article.

You can download it on an iPad from Newsstand. NOTE: It's the January 2014 issue.

Bought the magazine online. Very good article. The boat looks good.
Cannot understand how you are going to use the surf board.

We use the board for surf rescue as a backboard and to get tow line, fuel or Battereys into shallow water 24" or less.
