Trailering with boards in the racks

Why not tow with them at reasonable speeds and short distances? Why not put them on at the garage?

My boards go straight from the wall storage racks in my garage to the wakeboard racks on my tower, and then back onto the wall storage racks in the garage when I'm done. I thought the purpose of wakeboard racks was to...well...hold wakeboards. Why would I put 4 boards on the floor or seats to bounce around when I have racks that hold them securely? Why would I shove them in locker storage that I use for other things when I have racks that hold them securely? Maybe that is why after 3 seasons my interior and vinyl still look like brand new with no dings, scratches, or tears anywhere that boards often cause.

If you are that worried about the boards falling out of the racks on the road at the same speeds you hit on the water maybe you should just get some better racks. So you didn't answer the question I posed:
