Sand and surfboards have an almost magnetic attraction to each other, much to the frustration of surfers who camp near the beach. Open Road Supply Co. has turned that frustration into innovation with its newly launched magnetic surfboard rack, a product that leverages actual magnets to solve the sandy board dilemma that has plagued beach campers for generations.
The company, operating as the retail face of Twill Product Design Company LLC, developed the rack with a clear understanding of its target audience's pain points. Surfers who travel in vans to chase waves along the coast need their boards readily accessible, but traditional storage options all involve compromises. Ground storage means sand accumulation. Interior storage sacrifices living space and makes boards hard to grab quickly. Roof racks require awkward lifting and climbing. Each approach has drawbacks that diminish the beach camping experience.
The magnetic rack introduces a new category of surfboard storage by mounting directly to the exterior walls of steel-bodied vehicles. The system employs industrial-strength magnets, each encased in protective rubber coating, to create a secure mounting platform capable of holding up to 100 pounds of equipment. This capacity accommodates multiple surfboards or larger stand-up paddleboards, making the rack suitable for solo surfers or groups traveling together.
Vehicle compatibility spans the most popular platforms in the van conversion community. Sprinter vans, which have become synonymous with van life culture, work perfectly with the magnetic system. Ford Transit vans and Ram Promaster vans, two other favorites among conversion enthusiasts, also provide the steel body panels necessary for magnetic attachment. This broad compatibility ensures the product serves the vast majority of the beach camping market.
The engineering behind the rack balances strength with usability. While the magnets create a bond strong enough to keep expensive surfboards secure during transport and overnight camping, the system remains simple enough to remove with just one hand when circumstances change. This design consideration proves particularly valuable for solo travelers who may need to quickly reconfigure their setup or access their boards without assistance.
Protection for vehicle surfaces was clearly a priority during product development. The rubber coating on each magnet prevents scratching or marring of paint finishes, addressing a concern that would otherwise make many van owners hesitant to try a magnetic mounting system. People who have invested in custom paint jobs or simply want to maintain their vehicles in pristine condition can use the rack confidently.
Beyond the flagship magnetic rack, Open Road Supply Co. has distinguished itself through strategic brand partnerships that expand its value proposition. The company has aligned with recognized names in complementary industries, including Sandy Vans and AVC Rig in the van accessory space, Almond Surfboards in the surfing world, and Jackery in portable power solutions. These partnerships enable the company to function as a comprehensive marketplace where customers can compare and purchase products from multiple premium brands in one convenient location.
The partnership model delivers tangible financial benefits to customers through exclusive discount arrangements. Savings of up to 40 percent off regular retail prices make it possible for surfers and van campers to upgrade multiple aspects of their setups simultaneously while staying within budget. This marketplace approach reflects an understanding that customers rarely need just one product; they are typically outfitting entire vehicles or camping systems and appreciate the efficiency of consolidated shopping.
Customer testimonials indicate the magnetic rack is resonating with its intended audience. Users have praised the product as a must-have for anyone who combines beach camping with surfing, highlighting how it solves the long-standing sand problem while preserving vehicle integrity. The rack has also been recognized as an excellent gift option for surfers, suggesting its appeal extends beyond direct users to friends and family seeking practical presents for the wave riders in their lives.
The magnetic surfboard rack is now available for pre-order through the Open Road Supply Co. website, where customers can also explore the full range of curated products from partner brands.
