Surf racks?

I'm looking to to get hard racks for my 09 clubbie, my concern is i have the sunroof, and the bar will be in the way. Who here has any surfrack recommendations? I really like the Inno locking racks (http://www.rv-inno.com), I had them on my previous car and they are very convenient.

Inno is the best

I have the OEM roof rack with the Inno surf rack. Easy to put on and take off. Once you set it up once, you can put it on and off within a min. I use to have it on all the time, but it does create a lot of wind noise when going at highway speeds. So now I just have it on when going to surf or keep it on when I go surfing consecutive days, i.e. weekends.

The bar is in the way, but not distracting. IMO, go for it, Inno is probably the best locking roof rack out there.

Note if you do get it and have the OEM roof rack, you'll need to get the longer bolts kit. I think it's under $15 extra. The OEM roof rack is just too thick for the bolts that comes with it.

Thanks again. I still have my Innos that fit my Chevy Tahoe racks, I'm wondering if that would be a perfect fit.

Probably just need to get the longer bolts and should be fine. Any place that sells roof racks should have them.
