Default Snowboard/ski rack

Is the Thule base carrier bar kit the only option for the s4?

I'm interested in mounting a yakima big powderhound to the rack. What other options are there that can hold 4 boards and have locks?

Do all the yakima clamps come with the wind deflector on the front end, or is that extra?

Default word of warning about the p-hounds

two friends had the locks fail independantly while on the freeway, both lost equipment

one was USER ABUSE(TM), the other i think was bad design on the p-hounds...

Default No, that's the entire rack from Yakima. Thule is an entirely different company.

From Thule, you'll want the following to carry four boards:

400XT Aero Foot Pack $129.00
LB50 Load Bars $50.00
Fit Kit $50.00
Fairing $50.00
726 Deluxe Pull Top 6pr Ski Carrier $170.00
