Hi. I have a 2007 jeep wrangler sahara soft top. I also have a Mistral Competition board circa .. who knows. one windsurfer recently told me my board belongs in a museum. It's a longboard. very long and heavy. sometimes I call it the beast. anyway, taking the soft top down and using the roll bar as a roof rack works great when it's not raining; however, yesterday it was raining. the wind was blowing though, so I wanted to go windsurfing. I tried loading the board inside angled nose down into the foot space of the passenger side, seat reclined, headrest removed. it stuck out pretty far in the back with the window rolled open. the edge of the board also rubbed up next to my gear shift when in the drive position. I decided it wasn't a great idea to attempt driving this way, so no windsurfing. I was ready to order a roof rack immediately. to save myself from making a rash order though, I took a drive to the beach to watch the wind instead. I slept on the idea, and now I'm here trying to find out more info on what would be the best option. I found a rack that I've been debating for awhile... the congo cage. does anyone have any experience with this? I don't have covered parking so I'm constantly putting the soft top up and down. I need a rack that will be soft top friendly. as for the rest of my gear, I have two sails, one boom, and my mast that I lay across my passenger seat in the reclined position. it all fits inside the jeep. my only current issue is carrying my board with the soft top on. thanks for any help! -jL
