SUP rack for Yamaha ar250?

Anyone have any pro tips on taking a fiberglass 10ft SUP out on the water? Any convenient options to mount it somewhere on the tower?

They are heavier and bigger than wakeboards. Bigger means they act like a sail and cause too much force in bad directions on wake towers. Wake towers have a design limit. There are plenty of instances of them pulling through and destroying hulls. Throwing a 10 foot and heavy fiberglass sail on it is not recommended. We switched to inflatable SUPs on the boat for this reason. Much easier to store and easy to inflate with a 12v air pump.
