Transporting a paddle board in a short bed truck can be a tricky process. However, it is not impossible.
It all depends on the size and shape of the board, as well as the size of the truck.
If the truck is large enough, you will likely be able to transport the board inside. The most common way to do this is to put the board on its side in the backseat or cargo area.
This will require you to remove any items that are currently occupying that space, and have enough room for both the board and its paddles.
If your truck is too small for this option, you may need to transport your paddle board on top of your vehicle. To do this safely and securely, you’ll need to use tie down straps or bungee cords to attach it firmly in place.
Start by placing foam pool noodles or yoga mats between your paddleboard and your truck’s roof rack. This will protect both from any dings or scratches during transportation.
Once everything is secured, double check that all straps are tight and secure before driving off. Make sure that you check on them periodically throughout your journey as well, just in case any straps become loose during transportation.
Conclusion:
Transporting a paddle board in a short bed truck can be done if there is enough room inside or if you secure it properly onto the roof of your vehicle using tie down straps or bungee cords. Make sure that all straps are tight before driving off and check them periodically throughout your journey as well just in case they become loose during transportation.
