Dakine Tie Down Straps for Roof Racks, Black, 12FT — 1in Cam Buckles, Polypropylene Pair

Dakine Tie Down Straps 12FT are a pair of rugged 12‑foot polypropylene straps with 1‑inch cam buckles designed to secure boards and gear to car roof racks safely and quickly.

Transporting surfboards, snowboards, skis, or other long gear on your vehicle becomes far less stressful with reliable tie‑down straps. These Dakine straps come as a matched set of two 12‑foot lengths made from durable 100% polypropylene webbing and fitted with heavy‑duty 1‑inch cam buckles for smooth tightening and dependable hold. They also pair easily with Dakine travel boardbags and include a small storage pouch to keep the straps organized when not in use.

How do these straps keep my board stable on road trips?

The combination of wide polypropylene webbing and strong cam buckles reduces slippage and helps distribute pressure evenly across your gear. The cam mechanism lets you tension the strap quickly and lock it in place, minimizing movement during acceleration, braking, or crosswinds.

• 1‑inch (25 mm) cam buckles provide firm, adjustable grip
• 12‑foot length accommodates most roof rack setups and long boards
• Polypropylene webbing resists stretching and moisture
• Two‑strap set secures both front and rear points for stability

Will these work with my Dakine travel boardbag or other roof racks?

Yes — the straps are designed to integrate with Dakine surf, ski, and snowboard travel bags, but they’re also universal enough to fasten around most factory and aftermarket roof racks. The flat webbing and cam buckle layout make threading and fastening straightforward, whether you’re using anchor loops or wrapping around crossbars.

• Compatible with Dakine boardbags and common roof rack crossbars
• Use anchor loops, crossbars, or padded stackers for best support
• Storage bag keeps straps together and protected between trips

How durable are the materials and hardware over repeated use?

These straps use 100% polypropylene webbing that resists water, mildew, and most road grime while maintaining tension without excessive stretch. The 1‑inch cam buckles are rated for heavy duty use and designed for repeated cinching without slipping when properly threaded and tightened.

• Polypropylene resists rot and absorbs minimal water
• Cam buckles engineered for strong mechanical grip
• Built to withstand typical coastal, winter, and outdoor conditions

How should I use and store the straps for best performance?

Thread the strap through the buckle, loop around your board and rack, then pull tight and double‑check both attachment points. After each trip, rinse off salt or mud, let dry, coil neatly and stow in the included pouch to prevent UV and abrasion damage.

• Rinse saltwater and debris after coastal use
• Let webbing fully dry before storing to prevent mildew
• Store coiled in the included bag away from direct sunlight

Who is this for? The Dakine Tie Down Straps 12FT are for surfers, snowboarders, skiers, paddlers and outdoorspeople who need a simple, dependable way to secure long gear to a vehicle roof. They suit travelers who want a durable, easy‑to‑use strap system that integrates with Dakine boardbags and handles repeated trips across varied conditions. If you transport boards regularly and value fast setup, stable hold, and compact storage, these straps are built to make the process safer and less fiddly.
