Product Description

The Thule 554XT Hang Two Rooftop Surfboard Carrier is an upgraded version of the popular Hang Two carrier, with factory rack compatibility, and improved board protection. The 554XT can simultaneously carry up to two surfboards right out of the box, no longer requiring the Thule 504 Surf Strap to transport the second board like the old Hang Two units. This surfboard carrier provides you with maximum surfboard protection and lateral transport stability via the soft, oversized cradles, while strong, easy-to-use straps provide additional board protection, as well as transport security. The 554XT comes with universal mounting hardware that adapts easily to Thule square and Xsporter load bars, as well as Yakima, and most factory-installed racks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bomber Board Carrier!, November 19, 2007

By	E. Tucker "Maui Longboarder" (Kula, Maui, HI, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bought this attachment from another retailer but its the same product. Boards go on and off, super fast and easy. One thing that bears mention is that it doesn't work with two wide (23") boards stacked on top of each other. Besides that, you'll be stoked with the simplicity and security of this carrier. Alo-o-o-ha!

4.0 out of 5 stars Surfboard carrier, January 19, 2009

By	Mario A. Bohnert (Westminster, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent rack but I wish it would be a slightly larger to hold another board. So easy to install and easy to mount and remove the board. Thanks Thule.

4.0 out of 5 stars Secure as can be, but straps aren't for the big boards, August 16, 2008

Was excited to get this as my crossbars are very close together and lateral stability was key. My board is 11'3" L 29.5" W and over 4" thick. Had everything set up all nice and neat until I tried to get the straps on. Except they are too short to hook on for my board. Don't see how any stand up board or thicker and wider board would fit with the included straps so I was back to standard compression straps. So much for the quick convenience. But the captures are nice and work well. So hopefully Thule will send me some longer straps when they wise up and make them bigger. I did call to complain. If your dimensions are smaller than mine (29.5" w and about 4.5" thick) then you'll be fine. The straps were short by about 2+ inches at their longest.
